A thought for Easter

Nothing brings the out the beauty of Easter as does the elaborately colored eggs that my sister produced. 

Sail Away

When I finished this painting I did something that I don't usually do, I named it. It feels so free to me that it might sail off the paper it was painted on. As the colors poured freely onto the white heavy bond paper I took my pallet knife and pulled and pushed the colors together then with colors on the knife I created horizontals and verticals through the puddles of colors making the most interesting designs. The blues and the yellow changed to green. Red attacked and blue turned to deep Cobalt. White lay dormant until I tipped the paper and small rivers of red and blue became pink and light sky blue. I stopped to let the work rest and dry. As it lay quietly the painting began it's final ebb and flow taking on a life of it's own. Motion frozen in time. It was completed.

Started to paint again...

Well it's 2 months since my last post, but I can say that I'm painting again. The top painting left is called Fire Water. The top right no name. The middle right is "The emergence of color". Middle left has no name.

A new year a new place, a new painting.

Well it's 2011 and we are enjoying life in Lima. I getting back into my painting. I enjoyed doing this one and learned a few things.

2010 /31/12

Last chance to post something in 2010. So I'll try to think of a quote for the day.....(thinking)..."The people who make art their life are mostly dreamers."

Just finished a painting!

Yesterday, after a long dry spell of getting our house in order here in Lima I was able to stretch a canvas and paint. What a good feeling to be putting paint on canvas again.  Not sure what to call this work, but I'm sure I'll think of something.

The quote of the day...

“I begin with an idea and then it becomes something else.”

Pablo Picasso

Me too.

It's a start...

    I did a painting! However it was painted on our serving tray. The tray was in need of a face lift. So instead of just slapping a coat of paint on it I thought why not paint something abstract. So I did...
The tray sits in our Tea Cart. I  think it came out rather interesting.

A NEW STUDIO

I have a STUDIO again, in Lima Peru!! It's over a month since my last post but I will start posting again. I plan to start painting again in about a week. We are still getting organized in our new house, but when we have a handle on where all our stuff belongs I can concentrate on ART. :-)

Wow, How time flys...

My last post was late in Aug. and it is now October! We are in Lima, Peru, n have a long term rental house rented which will be ready for use mid. Oct.. Our stuff will be on board a ship bound for Peru in a week. And we have only been in Lima 12 days! I can't wait until I can have an art studio again. The house has a finished basement, tile floor, painted walls, and good lighting.

So right now we look for items for the house and wait. But time does fly.                              ---------------->
