Another Skyscape - WIP

16" x 20"

Its been a while, but here is the start of another cloud painting.

New Project! WIP - reflections

16" x 20"

Here goes...

This one has been a little more difficult as far as drawing it out. The background is a jumbled mess of shapes and colors. I wasn't feeling very good about it last night- when it felt like the drawing part would never end- but the waters are calming now that I get to start with the actual painting.

I loved painting on the red so much I primed 9 small canvas boards in red. I picked up two more 16" x 20" canvases the other day and plan on redding them up as well.

Day 3- Three's company

Hothouse Tomatoes
4"x6" oil on canvas

I had fun painting these tomatoes. I love the crinkly crackly stem sticking out there. The sticker on the tomato is a favorite as well.

This painting was challenging in many ways- mostly its size. It was difficult to get all those colors into such a small space. I am happy with the outcome though. Somehow, seeing it in a photo makes it seem more polished.

Funny how doing something you love can provide so much peace. I am blissing out- I got to paint again today!

Day 1- Beginning Again

Mater Plate
5"x6" oil on canvas

Well here it is - my first painting in almost two years. My arm, wrist and fingers creaked as they tried to maneuver over the canvas in ways that were once so familiar. The final result is better than I thought it would be after such a long break. I spent the rest of the day in bliss because I actually got to paint!

The lip of the plate is my favorite part. It really seems to show its weight.
