  I did this painting a few weeks ago.  It's my heart. My broken heart.  I actually moved with the music that I played in my ears as I painting this.  As the music moved me the colors moved onto the canvas as well.  It was very emotional and I did not stop until the painting was complete. I had been in a wonderful relationship for the last 6 years and on July 14th that all changed, he decided that we needed to end and separate and go down two different paths.  At the time of the painting I did not understand, I do a little more now but this is not what I want. It has taken strength to move forward from that evening but I'm still taking one step forward and another and another each day, as my heart finds a way to begin to heal. 

This painting was done with no plan in mind at all.  Sometimes my best paintings have come along like this and just happen as I go along.  I started with the sky first and then just sort of felt what was next and just added a mountain here and there and then a few trees, a small patch of land with some red poppies.  

      It is already the 8th of August I'm not sure where July went but it went fast!  I almost forgot to post this so here it is! My next sip and paint will be in September.  I will teach one trees and how to use different brushes to get the different looks I paint in my landscapes.
