I'm BACK!!!

I have been away all summer. Now that I am retired I have begun taking art classes. These are a few of my works in progress awaiting direction from my teacher. I look forward to more postings this fall and hope you all will join me once again.xo

A funny thing happened on the way to the trash bin...

The top painting was all but gone when i started to play with a more expanded palette, i like the blue outlining the parts of the painting. Middle painting, was getting a bit to dull for my taste so i added watercolor pencil  and i think it added some zip.My grand baby needs a bit of blue under her nose. She is far to beautiful to paint and oh did i mention SWEET!

flower power

Learning to paint with acrylics is so challenging and really fun. Don't like it paint over it and practice some more. It's all new, paint selection, mixing, brushes and strokes. No doubt this piece will be history come morning. Maybe back to watercolor tomorrow... decisions,decisions!

wanderings

Play first and find the paintings later. Morning practice.

New paintings.

A mix of mixed media pieces that i have worked on lately. Spring is on it's way,let there be light! Miss you all blog friends.

acrylic added ....

Today i painted in acrylic,which is new and SO different than watercolor. I am still working on the pears and the mess on the bottom is well... learning to paint! Fun!

New Years Day painting

Another day another painting. I sketched this loose painting and used mainly Windsor Newton yellows,blues,greens and scarlet lake then added watercolor pencil.
