Apple Study #1

Acrylic on Canvas 8x8 (1 of 9)

I am doing 9 apple studies to make up one painting on 9 individual canvases. This is the first of those! I will be paintings these as a warm up to larger pieces I am working on or to vent frustration over those same larger pieces!

You know how you come to that point in a painting where you are stuck, frustrated, and wonder how you are going to pull it off? Well, I am getting to the point where I realize that if I just pull away for awhile and come back to it, I can see my work with a fresh eye and push on through it. What a wonderful revelation this has been! I now have 4 different projects going on and I am moving between them. When I get to that stuck place in one, I move to another and so forth.

I am thrilled with my newly organized studio! I will have to take pics and post them before it gets too lived in!

I painted this today. I was so excited to finally get to paint again! It has been way too long! when I get behind in my housework, I REALLY get behind! Finally , I am mostly caught up so I painted today! Look for more over the next week or so. My husband has just returned from a fishing trip in Panama South America. Can't wait to get to those images!

Acrylic 12x12 on paper $60

This is another one I did on Friday. I just had fun with it! I think I will do some more of these this week! I am still working on "2 & 92". I really want this one to work so I am taking my time. When I get excited about a painting I sometimes rush because my brain is completing it faster than my hands can paint! I am so glad I found the DailyPainters.com website! It has truely been an inspiration to me! It has also given me the permission to paint on paper! I had always thought for a work to be taken seriously it had to be on canvas. I see now that is just not true! I have so much more freedom as an artist to paint on whatever I want!
