Saving For A Rainy Day by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

Saving For A Rainy Day by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

If you have wondered why I have not posted for a few days it is because I have been locked in at the hospital for three days. When the snow storm began I got a call from the hospital at 11am that they were sending the National Guard to pick me up for my shift which would began at 7pm. I had no option but to go as I am a critical care nurse. We camped out on mattresses on the floor with all of the ICU staff sleeping in the same conference room. They fed us and kept us warm and even arranged for showers and personal needs of course. We could not leave the hospital until today when the weather warmed up enough for us to leave. Wow!!! That was not fun. There is no place like home.

This is another softy as I call it that I painted after Carol Carmichael's workshop.

I certainly am not used to this kind of painting but I have to say I kinda like it. 

This Hydrangea I bought at Publix a couple of weeks ago and it is in full bloom now. 

I am no good with flowers so it will probably die soon. I am keeping my fingers crossed. 

I welcome any suggestions for keeping it alive. 

This painting is a 24x8 inch on gallery wrapped canvas. Still life,

Another painting that I painted at Carol Carmichael's workshop. Softer and a sweet looking

little cow. Would love to know what you think of this different style. Like it or like my old style better. I have to admit that I have always liked bold and bright but I kinda like these.
Cow painting, animals.

I attended a workshop with Carol Carmichael in Birmingham, Al. over the weekend. It was wonderful to say the least. I certainly painted differently than my usual. Mostly explored more of a pastel look instead of the bold paints I most often use. Over the next few days I will be posting some of the ones I did at this workshop and afterward while still using the techniques I learned there.

Thanks Carol for such a lovely time.

I set these pears and really liked the cast shadows. I am pleased with how this one turned out and yes I did plan for that purplish background.

I am afraid I am coming some kinda painting freak. I went to Publix today and all I bought was these painting props. My  last apples kinda went bad because I just kept saying to myself "just one more day". What am I becoming? I think I need to go to painters anonymous.

On Top Of The World by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

On Top Of The World by Alabama Artist Angela Sullivan

I have been painting quite a lot despite working a full time job. But a full time job I realize just

does not give me the satisifaction that painting does. I know I have painted a lot of apples and pears

not to mention the green vase and that little cup. My 6 year old grandson set this up for me. I did have

to move one of the pears due to the small canvas size. I am learning that you have to paint the fruit while it last which is not long enough. The tulips bit the dust pretty quickly but I did get quite a few paintings from them though.
