What you don't know about this painting

 


Sometimes  when a painting starts out it might be one idea and then as the artist paints it becomes another idea. That is what happened with this one that I worked on over the weekend.  It started out just a sky scape of a sunset.  I loved the colors of the sky but it needed to be more than just a beautiful sky.  

I walked away from it for a bit and then when I returned I began to look real close and the longer I looked the more I could see shapes.  The shapes began to take on a picture of mountains in my mind.  I could see each set of them in the colors that I had just painted as a sky of a sunset.

As I formed the mountains using the same paint colors I started with I also saw water and then I put in some water.  I realized this isn't your normal type of beach scene as I added the rocks on the shore lines.  I like it just as is without adding anything else.  It seems to create a mood, but I'm not sure what to call this one.

I feel a sense of wonder and calm when I look into the painting. The water's color is soothing and calm. The rocks seem to have a place in it all too.  Its rocky but relaxing too.  

I'm really going to have to think on this as far as what to name this painting.  Maybe I will post it on my Facebook page and see what ideas others give.

It started back in December, my hands started to give me issues.  I freaked out because you need your hands to do everything!  I also enjoying writing and painting so if I were to get to where I couldn't do those things anymore I would be lost.  Seriously lost! They both have a great deal to keeping me balanced and peaceful in my life.   My right hand started to hurt the worst in my thumb and wrist while all my fingers would ache.  My left wasn't as bad but soon it became the same as the right one. I have arthritis in my finger tips and in both wrist, worse in my right one. Also suffering from De Quervain's Tenosynotitis-a paint condition affecting the tendons on my thumb and side of wrist.  It will take a long time to heal the tendon until then I have to take it easy and go in for shots of cortisone to help. I have had two rounds of shots in my wrists, they hurt so bad also left bruising from the inside out. Then there is the snow! Winter winter.....w...

The Art of Blending

The Art of Blending There’s magic in the way colors meet,   Swirling together, bold and sweet.   With each new blend, I start to see   A world of endless possibility.   Leftover paint on a fresh canvas spread,   Ignites my creativity, clears my head.   Colors dance in a playful flow,   Where they'll lead, I never know.    From the spontaneous swirls arise   New ideas, a joyful surprise!   Some of my best have come this way,   Born from colors that love to play.    It’s freeing, fun, a creative delight,   To blend and blend from morning to night.
