Well, I had a week away from painting but now He is finished. at least in this moment isee a few more details for later perhaps. just need to name him...Hunger or Mr. Majestic or?

Up With The Sun

Up before the sun I finished this sunrise inspired by a view from my own front yard, of the Banning pass. Of course I took artistic liberties. I prefer to paint on canvas it seems to offer me more control somehow but I am satisfied with this Acrylic on paper 18x 20..Need to pop it in a frame I am on my way to the gallery.

I painted a few Christmas Cards this week end. I was not in the mood to paint so these whimsical less detailed items were perfect for my mood. I did or started 1/2 a dozen of the 4.5x5.5 acrylics on hard paper. This frist batch will sell for $5 each.

A bit of a change in Painting

Not in the mood for the detailed work of my eagle, I have decided to paint some suitable for framing Christmas cards for the show in Dec. Pulling out the metalics for shine 4.5x 6 cards I can sell $5.00-$50.00 with inexpensive framing. Acrylic paint on paper is the plan. I have been sketching ideas this morning and now time to get back to it. The eagle is beside me and who knows tonight i might be ready for some feather action...Keep smiling!

I spent a great deal of the day working on the website: http://talents2share.com/ and then of course the painting i started last night got a bit futher. too tired to write more tonight ..this morning. Have a great week end all!

What? Another great day!

Today was full of ups and downs it was actually a very luck day. Unfortunately, I did not feel well enough to really enjoy it. It has however, ended with me doing what I love, as I started a new painting. As I began drawing in the foundation, I had a brief panic of OM what am I attempting now? My first instinct was to match a mirror image of the bird in the water. That would be wrong. Reflections are different and change all the more by viewpoint and personal perception. Well, I made it through the drawing portion and I covered the bird with frisket so tomorrow I can lay in the background of water. I am both afraid and exhilarated...afraid of failure what if I mess it up and exhilarated to know it really doesn't matter this is what I love to do..it is all about learning. Unlike the many recipes for great dishes that I have let go by the way side, I am trying to record how I make, create each piece. This attempt so that perhaps I can one achieve that my greatest of all: the I will they will call MASTERPIECE.
