I think one of my problems was that I had gotten into the rut of thinking I had to have "a project" or a "series" I should be working on. Then my friend Lauren told me to JUST PAINT! I have to remind myself that it's the process of painting that I love, just watching the paint flow on to the paper, and the colours mingling together. I also have to remember to "paint what I love". I love flowers and animals and nature. I have tons of photos to inspire me over the winter, so I'm going to just paint! I may jump from subject to subject, using many different techniques and mediums, whatever catches my fancy on that day. So off I go!
I was in a mood for juicy reds today so am painting poppies.
Here's a small 5 X 7" doodle I did the other day when I was in a blue mood!
I'm taking a break from milkweed for a while!
Patty, this milkweed painting is so lovely. I love the colors! I am looking forward to seeing your poppies.
ReplyDeleteVery nice, I really like the others that you did also. I really like the addition of the blue.
ReplyDeleteThanks so much Christiane! Still working on the poppies...
ReplyDeleteKrista, thanks! The blue gave it a bit more life, I thought.
YaY! So glad you got going... Now I need to kick my own butt. :) Can't wait to see the poppies... one of my favorite flowers!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Lauren! Got started on the poppies on the weekend, but didn't get very far. This weekend for sure I'll get them done!
ReplyDeleteWhat wonderful output from a "blue" mood - mine aren't so productive! Can't wait to see the poppies!! They are sure to brighten any day.
ReplyDeleteThanks Cheryl! I hope to get them done today!
