It's been raining here since Friday, pretty much nonstop, our back patio is a kind of a pond now. I love the rain, but now it's getting in the way, I have several new paintings that I need to photograph, definitely can't do that when it's pouring!
I love this little painting though, did it back when the sun existed :) I'll be working on a larger version of it today.
I've painted these trees by our house before, but never at this time of day. I love their shape and the colors in the background. I really like how there was still a hint of blue in the sky, while the rest of the sunset was so orange and bright.
More lemons for today :) I had the perfect "girly" day yesterday, got my haircut, spend forever walking around Michaels, went to Target, then crafted the night away while watching Desperate Housewives (my guilty pleasure:)
Usually around this time of year I start getting really crafty. Scrapbooking, crocheting, baking, etc. I make lists and brainstorm ideas of homemade gifts I can start making for Christmas.
Not so much this year. Ever since I started on this full time painting gig I've been far less crafty in other areas. I think all my creative energy is just used up everyday....or else I've just become really...
I painted these avocados on a very dark, almost black canvas. Like the landscape I experimented with a few days ago. It's kind of like painting in the complete opposite way that I'm used to, which makes it a good exercise .
Oil on stretched canvas, sides painted, 6x6 inches
