happy

I've painted this before. This time using what I have been learning in an online course from Dreama Tolle Perry about painting more loosely and using transparent colors on the base layer and allowing them to shine through. It's so inspiring to learn new things! This original 6"x6" oil painting sold.
 And on a side note, I just loved reading this note of inspiration for any artists reading my blog...it's a great article, just for today!

layers

So it's always the words that catch me up. I love words, visually, but I always find a compelling string of them so very challenging. So what do I say about a painting that was just simply fun to create. Maybe the layers...hope in the beginning of the painting, then doubt in the middle, when it all looks hopeless, and then confidence when it all comes together. I would say this is my process for most paintings…and somehow it all works…it's a great lesson in having faith through the tough parts. This painting is 4"x6", $65 unframed. Happy Friday!
