2019

Well, we're well under way into the New Year now.
 All the festivities are over, the tree has been put out to pasture and all signs of tinsel are gone.
I have been working diligently on my big canvases and they are taking forever. So I am going to put one of them up here unfinished.


24" by 36"
gallery style canvas (deep edge)
it will be called "Saturday Sunrise"

This is one of the biggest canvases I have done with such a small brush. If you ignore the trees on the left it looks like it's coming together. I'm going to darken the shadows on the right side and maybe I'll declare it done then? Maybe.

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

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.
