I started with one painting and a few paints and kept bringing more boards and paints into the kitchen and now I've lost all control. It's been over a week. My poor family, gotta put it away before the weekend begins. Lost myself in it and was loving every minute of it. Must set up a real painting studio for myself in the garage for the time being. I crave room to be able to be set up to paint with all my supplies whenever the mood strikes and time permits. Add that to the list of must do-s this year. The one above is finished, the ones below are still in progress. I've been working on some smaller ones for the etsy shop too so that the are more reasonably priced to both buy and ship. Fun. Fun. Fun. Feeling very influenced by my friend Syd, who's coming to stay here a couple nights next week. Looking forward to painting with her over at Jenny's new space while taking this class. We'll see what direction I take after that fun, I like the not knowing where I'm going. I love the feel of the paintbrush loaded with paint on the wood,and the feel of pencil doodling on the paint on the wood, and the mixing of colors and seeing the colors combined, capturing light...the process. Just love getting lost while creating, no matter what the medium.
Hope you get lost in something fun this weekend! xop
I am loving your paintings! The colors, the playfulness... And I guess I'll see you in a week, then...I'm attending Flora's workshop too and I am super excited!!!

Fabulous! I'm hoping to paint this weekend, even if it's just in my journal. I'm longing for it.

I've had the painting bug recently, too. ALthough for me, that means one or two paintings (hard to do more with the three little ones around!).
I love that last painting of yours especially!
