| Undertow 6"x6" Original Oil on Archival Panel Click for a Closer Look Some of you may have noticed that it's been a while since my last post. Apparently, summer in Vegas sucks the creative mojo life right out of me! One day a few weeks back, I was talking with my teacher, mentor and a very dear and wise friend. In her no nonsense words, she said: "Karen, I don't care if the only thing that you can paint is fucking circles, just get to your painting table and PAINT!" So I did what I was told to do (for once) I put out my favorite colors on my palette. I started with a beloved swirl. Stopped thinking and just let myself play with color. It took me 3 days to paint what you see here. I am a very slow painter. :-) But I am happy with the results. Since that kick in the butt 3 weeks ago (thank you Jeanne), I have painted at least a little bit, almost daily. This is a very good thing! As always, thanks for letting me share my art with you and spending a few moments of your time with me. |

I was scrolling through yesterday's paintings on Leslie's site and hadn't really thought to stop on any of them since there's a whole new batch today (wow!), but this GRABBED my attention on the thumbnails and I had to come visit. I love it, but I think I love today's more! Looking forward to dropping by again to see what you're doing.
ReplyDeleteHi Deanna,
DeleteYes there are a LOT of paintings to scroll through each day. Thank you for coming to visit :-) Of course I had to go check your stuff out as well. I see that we both have a love affair of scrolls, tendrils and swirls. I will be looking forward to seeing more of your work as the month continues.
My goal with the 30 in 30 really is to be sure to paint daily but I am a very slow painter and am not in the mood to paint 30 small paintings, so for me it'll be more like 30 days of painting instead. I do hope to post a couple times a week though. I promise they will be colorful as I do LOVE color. :-)
Great meeting you!
