| SOLD I have been struggling with my painting, for a full year now. I have never been able to establish a routine in the studio, since we packed our bags, and moved to the mountains. I thought I was over painting. I found no joy in it. In fact, everything I struggled to paint, seemed more like a duty and I found it frustrating. But now, we have been back at the beach for three months. It took awhile. First the holidays got in the way, but after the first of the year, I started to regain my love of spending my days in the studio. Maybe it was the inspiration of the long walks on the beach, or maybe it was being back with my art buddies again. Whatever..........I am thrilled and anxious to smear paint across canvas again! |

| Purchase here It's hard to go wrong with a blue and yellow painting.....it just shouts "Cheerful". The background was painted with a brush, but I used a palette knife on the flowers and grasses. That's when it started to be really fun!
I feel like I was able to capture the feel of the day......I hope it made you smile!

| purchase here 260 + shipping I have to admit, I struggled with this piece. I started with a brush, but after much frustration, I turned to my trusty palette knife. In the end, I am happy with the values, and the glow on the hydrangea on the rigfht. And the colors, love the colors. In fact, the more I look at it....the happier I get! So the moral of this story is, don't give up! HAPPY BIRTHDAY to my dear granddaughter, Courtney!! |
