Thursday Time Out For Art

IMG_0235Dusty is finally finished!  He is 24″ X 36″ and is almost entirely done with a pallet knife, and neutrals.  He started speaking to me immediately after I toned the canvas, and hasn’t stopped since.  Never have I had a canvas chatter so much, and give me their opinion non stop from beginning to end.

I also have never used a pallet knife for an entire painting, and that was a fun experience.  Maybe I’ll do more, maybe I’ve found something exciting and different for me!

But I really love how this painting came out.  Morning Sun on a barren forest has all the fun I could muster up  telling  it’s story.  Collage, rice paper, the glistening gold of morning sun, shadows.  It’s simple, and I like that.  Sometimes I go simple instead of finishing.  My diva friend tells me …..More is Better?  You tell me!

Artichoke my Heart!

Artichoke my Heart!

After going to the Pasadena Art & Product Expo I came home with a set of American Journey Watercolor paints. I have always loved the vibrancy of their colors.   They were a good bargain, and I think they are compirable to a much more expensive paint.

The minute I came back home, I had to sit down and paint. This painting is the result.   The  artichoke flower was spontaneous, and fun. I couldn’t wait to start it, and I couldn’t wait to finish it!

It now hangs in the collection of a friend of mine, and she loves it too.
