New Year Interaction

It is my goal in 2017 to give my followers a little more insight into my personal life as it pertains to my artwork.  I am hoping to learn how to create some videos for you and to give you a little more insight on my processes. 

I insanely signed up for the 30 Paintings in 30 days challenge again.  I have a new grandbaby due soon, so I maybe painting ahead of time in order to keep up and I'll need to bring my paints along and squeeze in some art while the angel baby and mama sleep.

Leslie Saeta (our hostess for this challenge) suggests selecting a theme.  I have decided to make my theme the 2017 Color Trends.  This means, a palette of desert toned neutrals: Terra Cotta, Saffron and cork.  Botanicals are still trending, so Emerald and Guacamole greens with a plant theme.  Also, there is a Nordic influence in 2017; minimalistic, cool colors like Icelantic Blue and warm grays.   I hope to capture these trends with the 30 in 30 challenge.

Upcycle, Day 30

Well I certainly did not do 30 paintings this month, but hopefully I forced myself to paint a little more often.  "Life" has been getting in the way of my creativity, but hey, ya gotta live it!  Here's another piece that I "upcycled". This was originally painted on the street at our local Farmer's Market and has been hanging at Studio3 since that time.  I recently brought it home and added some of my ink squiggles.  Better.

Floral Spray, Day 28, 30 in 30

Got a few paintings finished tonight that I will be plopping here in my blog as time permits.  Some were repainted canvases as this one and some were started previously and tweaked to finish. 
I call this one "Floral Spray" as it is a "spray" of flowers flowing from the vase with lots of splatters and drips.  Super fun!

Floral Workshop, Day 23, 30 in 30

Although the class was small, we had a great time in my "Loosey Goosey Floral" workshop last night.  The paint was spattering, dripping and flying! My favorite way to paint!  We had wine and snacks in a great venue.  My thanks to Sandi at La Belle Maison in Menasha for being our host.  And thank you to my students for your laughter and encouragement!
