The Colors of Life

The Colors of Life

 Colors are many. Bright and subdued. Warm and cool. These are the colors of

life. I think this is in relation to the hot energetic highs and the cool lonely lows.

Life is good no matter what we must go through.

The Long Road Home

The Long Road Home

Another country landscape. I am still lovin it. I feel such a sense of

freedom. Isn't that strange. While at the workshop we painted clouds

in a way I haven't done before. I felt jubilant. I had so much fun. What I

mean is I am still having fun.

Antique Teapot

Antique Teapot

I bought this teapot when I was 18 years old because I just

fell in love with it. It has spent the last 10 years or more in a trunk.

My husband found it the other day and it felt like seeing an old friend.

This is one painting that I couldn't seem to get the colors just right so this

will have to do...

It did remind me of a bad hair day.

A Look In The Mirror

A Look In The Mirror

When you look closely in the mirror you see yourself. The beautiful

things that make you you. Also the flaws can be spotted. A look in

the mirror may help you to see things you wish were hidden. Sometimes it

may be sad or soul cleansing it may help us come face to face with who we are.

If I Were Red

If I Were Red

If I were red I would be a good red. Not like an angry wildfire but a

gentle flickering red like a campfire. If I were red I would be bold like the

red in our precious flag. I would run true like the red blood that runs through the veins

of the soldiers who protect us. I would be red like the sweetness of a red strawberry and

yes I would have a little heat like a red pepper which spices up the food it seasons.

If I were red I would be happy because after all red is my favorite color.

I love cherries. It is not just the way they taste but their

eye appeal. It is always a challenge to get the deep red and with the

reflected highlights and that one little speck of bright light.

I really like it when I reach the point of adding that last speck because that

means I am finished except for my initial that is.

Dragonfly Inn

Dragonfly Inn

This is named Dragonfly Inn because that is the name of the little glass

house. I bought this several years ago somewhere out west I think in Colorado.

The original has so much more depth. Is it just me or does everyone just wake up one

day and your paintings are different. Do you think so or is it just me.....?

Hope you like the bold use of color in this one.

Today I painted most of the day and then went shopping.

I found something that I really like a lot. Usually I use Golden or

Liquitex Heavy Body acrylics however at my local Hobby Lobby

I found some paint that I like a lot. It is Masters Touch brand

Grey Purple it has a peculiar smell but it thick and buttery. Love it.

I also like Liquitex Basics Titanium White. Ok that's it ... My sharing

for the day.  4x4 acrylic on canvas panel
