Mid-May Work in Progress

May 15th, 2009

I’m painting outside today.

My setup is not fancy, but it works.

I’m using Winsor & Newton Artisan water-miscible oils.  I love them.

Here’s a quick sneak peek at my work in progress–one of my “Looking Up” tree paintings.  The bare bones of the design has been laid out and I’m starting to work some color in.  I’m taking a very loose approach to this painting–now that I’ve got a rudimentary plan, I’m going to just follow it where it takes me.

It’s a good painting to work on out in the yard, surrounded by living green things and the contrast of sun and shade.

My sweet canine companions are keeping me company.

(Not too much longer now till Blake gets to take off the lampshade!  He is happy and doing well.)

Lots of things are popping up in the garden.

    Where ever that painting is taking you, it already looks great. Please post it when you’re done. I can’t wait to see the end result!

    Stawberries, sunflowers, and now you’re going to be a mother…

    You deserve a big hug for mother’s day.

    I’m glad to hear you’re doing well with the galleries. It’s really important to find support so that you can continue to create. Congratulations!
