Fresh and Free II


At left is a painting I did back in June and at right is my revision, adding a little more color and contrast.  It's still entitled "Fresh and Free" because that's what I feel when I see it and what I felt as I was creating it.

I don't know if I won't go back and do some more differences in value on the flowers.

Oh it's Saturday, I'm in my room doing art, my husband is watching politics, the sun is shining and I am grateful for everything in my life...mostly my breath which connects me to my joy.

Yosemite View II

Working on this Yosemite view and placed some hills in the background and simplified the painting a bit.  I may add a few touches but other than that I think it's done.

I am going to work on my painting of two girls that I did about a year ago, here it is.

Something is not right with it, so have been studying it for a few days and I think I need to change the table color and the background.  Anyway that's what I'm going to do

Now off to Aaron Brothers for some turp and white paint.

Yosemite View in Progress

So here's the painting I referred to about a week ago of a Yosemite view.  I have reworked it and now i like the color better but need to still do some work on it as the water needs more color up close and the mountain in the background needs less color.  I didin't intend to change the tree color however it happened and I'm not unhappy with it, it's just different from my plan.

Maybe I'll have time to work on this later this evening.  Right now I'm just awaiting my peeps that need to do the upkeep on this house!
