Small Floral Still Life. Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting, Flower Painting, 9x12x.75" Oil
Still playing catch up! In retrospect, it was probably not a good idea to be out of state three months, attend a 4 day workshop and accept almost 20 commissions just weeks before the holidays.
So although I was painting every day, I struggled to find new works that I could show on my blog at that time.
I did manage to do this one:
I really enjoyed painting something that I wanted to paint, and I think it shows. Free and easy strokes and a touch of whimsy.
Time to take a deep breath and decide just what is important and what it not.

Floral Landscape Painting, Small Oil Painting, Daily Painting, 8x8x1.5" Oil SOLD
Inspired by my recent stay in the Blue Ridge Mountains of North Carolina.
The area was very dry and had no rain for the two months I was there. I am sad to say that most of the fires were purposely set.
What is happening to our country!
Thanks for visiting my blog today.

SOLD
This lovely garden was at Lake Junaluska, just five minutes from our home. So sorry to say that it is the very area of western North Carolina that has been suffering from wildfires, burning for well over a month. We left before they got too close, but we did have one day with heavy smoke in the air. The area was very dry and had no rain for the two months I was there. I am sad to say that most of the fires were purposely set.

Small Floral Still Life, Pink Beauty 6x8", Daily Painting, Small Oil Painting
I wanted to practice painting flowers, and found a reference in my files.

Trying hard to put into practice the techniques Elio Camacho tries to push into my head. Brushwork, color relations, composition, the bride! Not sure if I was successful, but, there is always tomorrow! Thanks for viewing my blog today.

Mixed media experiment, 6x8" handmade art, Alcohol inks, daily painting
This is what an oil painter does, when she is in a slump!
6x8"
For reasons that are too boring to talk about, I have found myself in an oil painting slump.
When I came to Florida, for three months this winter, I purposely left my oil painting supplies at home. I brought pastels, watercolors, alcohol inks, etc. My plan was to force myself to paint with media that was unfamiliar and awaken my creative juices. When I was back in the swing of things, I would once again turn to my oils.
Soooo, I created this little piece, for a challenge. The challenge was to use metallic colored pencils in a composition. The pencils are not saturated colors and the metallic aspect of them is not strong, so I decided to do a mixed media piece.
This is a combination of the pencils, alcohol inks, and a black sharpie pen. The hash marks are from the metallic pencils. The sharpie, should have been a wider tip, but I used what I had.
I found it to be a frustrating and fascinating project. Successful? Maybe not. But it got me back in the art mode, and I plan to work from here. I already caught myself thinking "I wish I had my oils here", so perhaps my little plot it working. In any case, I am happy I spent a few hours experimenting.
