New Painting... Right off the Easel



I literally almost threw this painting in the trash last weekend. I had spent several hours on it, and it wasn't at all what i wanted, and i was concerned that it was turning into an "energy vampire" painting, which is one you work on and work on, and it's never right. I work full time, so my weekends are "it" for painting. Anyway, i stuck with it, ... barely... and I think it turned out kinda pretty!

  2. That is a lovely painting. I love hydrangeas! I like the word energy vampire...that is so perfect to describe projects that suck the life out of you. My new word!

    I've had a few of those vampire projects myself and they do suck the life out of you! LOL.

  11. Fine job. That's a difficult subject, "whites" are grand when you get them right. I'm a painter so I sympathize with your struggle to give interest to the seemingly simple. You inspire, glad to have run by your work!

  12. Your paintings are beautiful. I just love the Moonalisa and the cream colored cow. My father is a water color artist when he is not being a farmer. Funny he would always put his latest unfinished paintings on the living room mantel for us to tell him what we liked or didn't like about it and to get a fresh perspective on the painting. You have amazing talent.
