It feels like forever since I've played with my liquid oils. With all the cold weather we've had lately I felt the need to go tropical. Can you guess what's coming?
EIt seems moving and then coming down with the flu has put my muse into hiding. So what do you do when you don't feel creative? I've organized the new space as best I can, except for my painting area. That area I'm avoiding like the plague.
So when all else fails cook something up. It doesn't seem to matter if I'm making soup, or pie, or a casserole or in this case bread that usually brings the muse out of hiding. Lets get creative. I bought a new Da Vinci cosmotop spin pointed oval so I had to check it out. This was done with two colors, prussian blue and azo yellow in watercolors. My oils just won't flow for me in this cold weather so it's a good time to play in my sketchbook.
I need to brush up on my watercolor sketching skills. I hope everyone had a very Merry Christmas and are looking forward to what the new year will bring. I know I am as this last year was great and full of wonderful happenings. I expect 2018 to be even more spectacular!
With the cold spell here it's been too cold to spend much time in the studio as the cold starts creeping in so I've went portable. I broke out my small watercolor kit and started on my landscape journal for MAP. I'm working on a little white on white series which is 180 from what I usually do. Limited palette (2 colors) and using just my waterbrush. I delivered this commissioned piece today and the joy and happiness that radiated from my client reminds me of the best part of being a creative--sharing that joy. Thank you Rick for the opportunity to share the joy I feel when I paint with you and your girlfriend. The happiness in your face was the best gift I could receive. Thank you!
I put a few of the miniature watercolor paintings up on eBay. They will be coming up for auction over the next week. Keep an eye out for them. Mat and frame not included, display purposes only.
Did a few more miniature watercolors today. In the last week miniatures have been popping up everywhere, on two of my favorite art blogs, a youtube channel I follow, on my Facebook feed, mini's everywhere.
First day off after the show in Helena and it felt like a good day to play. 2.5x3.5 watercolor studies.
