This painting seemed to take me forever to finish today! I started the line drawing this morning, before going to A birthday brunch. Hours later, I returned home to finish the housework - so I could then feel free to paint. I start my painting, then am called on for a little grandson watching - which of course, I want to do! Start, stop, start, stop...the method of my madness today, until - just now - I am finished. I intended to use my palette knife, but I just couldn't get in the zone - so I forgot. I ended up using my "stick" brush for so much of this, as I worked to define trees and mountains - trying to capture all the colors in their appropriate places. I also intended to lay down some snow, but was so distracted that I forgot. So, I guess you could say this painting found it's own way to completion, getting very little leadership from me! Painting number 315 in 315 days. And I thought I would get another 5 paintings framed today - ha!
wonderful painting...so fun that it 'found its own way' to completion! it's amazing that you are doing a painting a day!!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much, Dianne! Painting certainly is a journey all it's own!
DeleteIt's unbelievable that you manage to do a painting a day! And they're all equally wonderful. Beautiful work!
ReplyDeleteThank you so much! Things do get a little hectic around the holidays - I hope I can keep it up!
