between naps
My brother told me a long time ago to try to paint one painting a day. Yea right! Who has the time. But the more I thought about it, the more I thought he was right. I don't have time to work with oils, though they are my favorite. Plus, I have little beans in my home and mineral spirits are too strong for them and hard on the environment too. So it's time to learn something new. Between naps I have picked the brush back up and have started using acrylics. I have a lot to learn about this medium but, having that brush back in my hand feels so good.

ReplyDeleteYour painting is beautiful! I wish I could paint.
ReplyDeleteAh thanks ladies!
DeleteLovely painting. And to think you did this in between naps! Amazing! I have always envied those that have the talent of painting (and singing, too, but that's another topic). Your brother had some great advice to do what you love just a little bit every day.
ReplyDeleteThat's a really nice idea, painting one painting a day. I should totally do that too (but right, who has the time!) But such a nice way to get disciplined and actually get to it, no excuses. I really like using acrylics, so practical and less messy tan oil (not that I'm a painter, but I like to dabble). Love the light in this painting. Ominous, bright. Just like a real peak of sunshine in between the storm. Very nice.
ReplyDeleteYour painting has a beautiful feel to it & the colours are happy & uplifting ... just lovely!
