This is my absolute favorite time of year. Fall is already in the air and I could not be more content to see it here and return to a routine again. Steve is in his third week of Medical School and he is LOVING it! Owen is on Day 2 of grade three and while he was a little slower getting out of bed this morning he is happy to be back with his buddies and the forecast looks good. I am rejoicing to have my house back, my days to create guilt-free and without interruption. I sit here sipping my grande non-fat caramel machiatto and I feel like the luckiest woman on earth.
So, without further adieu, I present to you my latest painting.
She is almost complete...

This is the second painting in my new collection. It measures 2 feet wide by 4 feet tall. There is so much symbolism in this piece. I felt a little like a detective working from the inside out, uncovering the pieces that needed to be added to tell this part of the story. I am completely immersed in this world and it feels fantastic.
This painting was an arduous process... I almost gave up twice... The ugly stages just lingered and ridiculed me as I sat looking at it from different perspectives. I kept going...
Thanks to sweet Beverly,
I will be showing this body of work next Spring in the Muskokas....
I am SO STOKED to have this opportunity to share my work there...
On another note, I will be spending the rest of the week working on stocking my shop with new work and smaller paintings. I will also be adding bookmarks. There is also a NEW SALE section in the shop so be sure to check it out when you can.
I have also been reading this book that has been keeping me up late into the night. TOTALLY worth the read so far... I only have 50 more pages to go...
That's all for now. Be well dear friends... xox
she is even more beautiful up close! i love all of the details! makes me remember exactly why i love to create...discovering new things like a detective...love that!

ReplyDeleteI love!! What an undertaking a painting that large.
ReplyDeleteYour attitude towards life and art is infectious.
I love coming here!!
It is such a privilege to watch you explore this art process - to see how you are growing in leaps and bounds. The emotion in this piece is breath taking. It stirs up the emotions, tells its story proudly - it truly is wonderful art. You are developing into an artist that has such powerful stories to tell. I can hardly wait for the next one and the next ........
