Exclusion

This little zinnia has turned it's back on the three cherries; not sure why.

Thanks for looking.

A Lemon with a Bowl, a Cup and Flowers

I finally had a chance to be in the studio again today.  The inspiration for this painting was a photo of flowers that I then painted with a lot of freedom.  The remainder of the composition was my imagination.  The painting is finished with a satin acrylic varnish.

I haven't been in the studio much due to my husband having had extensive back surgery.  I'm glad to report that he is healing nicely.

Life intervened but I'm back in the studio still working on pushing my efforts to be more expressive.

The "Art Girls", at our critique on Friday night, said to make some changes and I did.  Here's the result which I like much better.

Sunflowers on the Blue Chest

I met with the "art girls" last night and they approved this experiment with my working toward abstraction.  I will post another that they agreed with me, needed to be pushed further.  Thanks for looking.

During this next week, I may not be posting much.  This is because the disorder in my studio has reached maxium chaos.  In some parts of it, I have to walk sideways to get past things.  So it is time to clear out, add additional storage if possible and rearrange.  I would like to be able to set-up my studio so that I can switch from acrylics to pastels without having to put one or the other away each time.  Wish me luck.

I have some more daily paintings that I will put on my Daily Paintworks site so check there.

Support #1

As mentioned in a previous blog, I can overwork my paintings so I've decided to set a definite time for painting each of my daily paintings.  On the larger or more complex pieces, I am going to try to also follow that idea by working for a short period of time on each piece each day until a painting is complete.  I'll let you know how this approach works.

This 6x9 inch acrylic is matted to fit a 9x12 standard size frame.  The mat reduces the viewable size to 5 1/2 x 8 1/2 inches.
