Show at Heather Boutique - Saturday, May 24th

I am not painting as much this week because I am getting ready for a show and that means a lot of framing. 

The show will be at

 Heather Boutique at 721 Caroline Street, Fredericksburg, VA

Creativity

July 21, 2013

Creativity is in all of us.....

Yesterday I joined the Ultimate Blog Challenge and found a new world of blogs.  One of the many that I liked is about "Creative Confidence".  The author, has assignments each day to nurture creativity within us.  I think we all have ideas floating around and have to latch onto them.  Sometimes it takes encouragement to recognize the ideas.  Anyway, these are the things I tell myself. 

Here's a link to the blog for today:  http://minetteriordan.com/day-13-playing-with-colors-part-3/

Yesterday's post was about visiting a museum, something I love to do, but since it is an hour long drive to the National Gallery and the many museums in Washtington, DC, I just start looking at my art books when I feel in a slump and before you know, I can't wait to start a painting. 

For this one, I just had to look at this vase of peonies that someone gave me to get started on a painting.  (The raspberry ones might be from my garden, but someone nice gave me the star of the painting, the pink one.)

Finished Painting 2 -  May 20, 2013

 

On yesterday's blog post I showed the almost finished painting.  Today I made one major change and a few tiny ones.  It hit me right away that the background was too warm and came forward too much so I cooled and lightened the background, making it darker on the left.  Now I feel it is finished and will post it on my website.
