Thursday Time Out For Art

Image

IMG_0113After waiting for several years for this painting to talk to me, I think I’m ready to respond.  I have always loved the process, and loved the painting, but there is something telling me I could go further….  Just a bit further!

So I’m spending this morning talking to it, and narrowing it down…Should I do this, or maybe it needs just a little more of that.  This painting will talk, as all the others have.

I just submitted a painting into the Escondido Gallery, and out of 1800+ pictures I have, not one of them is of this painting.  It’s very abstract, and basic.  Black,white,gray, and red.

The strange thing is…most of the painting is gray, and the combination of the black, & white somehow allows colors to flash in the painting.  Not just neutrals, but blue, green, sometimes yellow.  It is the strangest thing.  But, more interesting than that, only artists can see the colors.  We are special people aren’t we?

FullSizeRenderOver the weekend we celebrated the  92nd  Birthday of our dear Friend, and art sister.  Maxine never fails to bring to us her inspiration, and creative energy.   How she does it, I do not no, but I want to be just like her when I grow up!

Zebra Designs & Destinations is a great place to get inspiration from, take a peek!

Thursday Time Out for Art

I’ve been making an effort to sketch, and maybe paint each day.  It isn’t easy when it seems everyone want’s a piece of my time.  If I can take it early in the morning, I’m in luck.  I’m an early morning person.  As the day wears on, I lose all my energy, rendering me Toast!  Burnt toast at that.

This week I did this little sketch, and had to add watercolor just because…I could!  Simple, imperfect in its imperfection, and that’s what I like most.  As you can see, I was playing with mixing greens.  I love mixing my greens, and rarely used premixed greens any more.
