Painting

The last few weeks have been a bit distracting and unproductive for me.

My kitchen is being renovated so the house is upside down, I have to wash my 

dishes in the sink and I can never find what I need. I'm definitely not complaining,

I can't wait to have my new kitchen, that's at least a month down the road. 

I had a spell of migraines and now I'm on a raw diet as a liver cleanse.. It's working

too, I feel really good, but somehow changing your whole diet is disruptive to

the day as well. 

I have made lots of art regardless..I just haven't finished anything or felt the joy.

In Mati Rose's painting class we've been learning fun techniques and playing around.

But I can't get past the first few layers on each one. 

All fun but not finished.. 

Today I finally just went out, picked flowers from my garden and

went for it.. I had more fun with this than I have in weeks. 

Here are the progress shots on today's painting.

I'm not done but yay! I got somewhere today...The slump is over.

This painting is a little more literal than my goal, abstracting the flowers is next but I 

found some direction today.

Painting Backgrounds

I'm taking another online painting class! Daring Adventures in Paint
with Mati Rose. The first 2 weeks we have been working on layering
up paint with color and experimenting with different techniques. Like
sandpaper and a brayer, spraying water and finger painting. It's so
great to sit back and play and not have a preconceived notion of the
outcome.

I'm going to totally let loose with this and just see!
These next ones don't exist anymore because I've layered over them.
Scary yet liberating!!
