🎨 This month I will be painting from life every day and posting to instagram. This will be a fun challenge as I see 740 or so Elementary art students a week (so not much easel time!)

🖌 My goal is to create quick sketches from life to simplify my composition and nail the correct values. My first medium was watercolor so I tend to sneak up on values.

☕️ I paint or create everyday, because it fills my cup and is something just for me. My paintings my not always be successful, but the time at the easel is a precious gift! Day 1

06/03/2022

Sometimes when I am stressed and don't have much time to create...a little watercolor can help me slow down and do something to ease my anxiety from daily to-do lists (teaching, packing for a renovation and oh, 700 grades a week!)

Art has the power to have a calming and meditative effect on the creator and gives joy and beauty to the collector!

Today's block in....loose and finding big shapes. Open roses are like teacups... the centers are always warmer and darker than you think. This doesn't look like much yet, but laying the foundation.

🌹 today's block-in. Spent most of my time arranging flowers...2nd day roses are more fun to paint there has to be some fading flowers for compositional interest!

02/22/2022

Love this frame for this poor man's Fantin, copy of Six Yellow Roses in a Vase! Learned a lot by studying the Maestro of Roses. (Swipe right to see the real deal.)

02/20/2022

Decisions, decisions...I love how the black frame puts the emphasis on the roses but I also love how the champagne colored frame pulls out the warm tones and complements the background color.

Which do you prefer? 🌹

I love the stumbled colors of purple, mauve and transparent oxide red in the warm shadows. This copper cup was fun to paint with all of the reflected bits of color.

Copper Cup with Pansies, 8 x 10, oil on linen panel.

Close but no cigar! Some paintings paint themselves, others are a labor of ❤. Lots of things to fix and adjust, but I am excited with the direction it is going. Some flowers need to recede in this arrangement... looking forward to my easel time today.
