Progression

I've been wanting to do this for a little while. Sometimes I manage to catch myself before I get too far into a painting and sometimes there are large gaps. This one I managed to get a few shots in so you can see what it starts out from (well, that would be a white canvas) to where it ends. 

                                                     


 There was a few hours in between photo 4 and the last because I have a tendency to fiddle, sometimes make rash decisions and have to fix them or take painful amounts of time to go over and over until I can't stand the sight of it anymore. This painting wasn't any exception. In the end, I like it. Hope you do too.

Audiobooks and Art

I know many artists like to listen to music while they paint but I like to listen to audiobooks. I borrow from the library and its usually great but today I was three quarters through when it expired on me (my fault). When I went back in to borrow it, I had to place a hold. So I'll have to wait a week to find out what happened.  Blue Hydrangea 096 oil on canvas board 8" by 8" Click to Buy   Whenever I look at a painting I can always remember what book I was listening to. In some ways I self title them that way. This one will always be split into two but I got it finished anyway.  Not to advertise but I realize if I don't say it's a cliff hanger -  Sara Gruen - At the Water's Edge (interrupted- don't tell me how it ends) Sara Gruen - Water For Elephants

Hydrangeas

It's that time of year! Hydrangeas have bloomed. Sunflowers have bloomed. If you want them all year round, here's the best way to keep them! All are still available!

Painted Daisies

Last Monday I started this painting (I finished it Friday) I had intended to do a serious still life with dark shadows and depth but the daisies were too happy. It became another painting about colour. I guess I've been in a good mood because they've all turned out like it this week. Perhaps, not a bad thing.
