Just playing here and there

Last year I played around on canvases that I have re-painted over and trying different techniques too.  It was fun to let go and create like that, it helped me be creative and to relax.

 

This one turned out to be a forest of cherry blossom trees down by some water. I did this one with limited colors and on a small re-purposed canvas.


The next two with the flowers in purple and below in blue were on re-purposed canvases and just strictly not doing a ton of thinking and just trying different things out.  I think they came out cute.



I really enjoyed doing this one with the trees.  Doing the background was the best and fun part about it all!

This one I love the way it looks so fresh and bright and new, the perfect Spring day!

This one is on canvas paper.  I enjoyed this one too. Painting on paper is a little different than on a canvas.  I prefer canvas but have started to re-think it and might try to paint on paper more often especially to practice technique.

The post was located in a box canyon near Limpia Creek on the eastern side of the Davis Mountains--where wood, water, and grass were plentiful. From 1854 to 1861 , troops of the Eighth Infantry spent much of their time in the field pursuing Comanches, Kiowas, an

 I work at the best place! I can hand my paintings in a room for all to see here at work.  In return starting this summer I will teach a painting class.  I am very excited for the opportunity, a little nervous but mostly excited!  I have an amazing co-worker/best friend that I also share the wall with and will be teaching painting classes as well.  I will keep you all in the loop of when the classes start and if you are local and would like to join that would be awesome!
