This was the most luscious orange! When I sliced it for breakfast I knew I had to paint it. Things are hopping these days, getting ready for all the early Summer shows. It doesn't help that it coincides with a Nor'easter-like urge to start new paintings - I should be simply wrapping up, framing, photographing and submitting this time of year. Instead I'm stocking up on canvases, sketching out and making notes for new paintings, techniques I want to try... etc. I'm hopeless.
You're not hopeless, you're awesome. Getting things ready etc.. God for you and nice oranges.
ReplyDeleteXO,
Soon...
I like this painting; I like the orange against the blue and the shapes and their arrangement. And hey, who wouldn't rather paint and sketch than organize stuff for ANY reason!!!! Mary's right, you're not hopeless...you're an artist!
ReplyDeletethanks so much for the positive comment-I have just started this blogging myself and love the exchange between artists all over our country! Your oranges simply glow-just seeing work like yours and Mary Winn's encourages me to step up my color--thanks
ReplyDeleteI just wanted to tell you my show went beautifully! Thanks so much for the words of encouragement!
