This is the under painting for a new sunset work. Tonight I have done more on it, mainly lightening it up and adding some texture. It is too wet to put in the scanner, and the digital camera picks up too much glare. Going well though I think…

Playing with texture
And just seeing what the paint will do. Small again, only 4×8″ in acrylics on deep edge canvas. Inspired by some Van Gogh art I saw recently too.Share this:

Yesterday and today
I have been painting up a storm – and a sunset, and a mountain…
Nothing like getting the paints out and just going for it 🙂
Although I have done much more, I am only going to load one painting a day – so I have some spare for those days when nothing gets completed!!Share this:

What is the boring part of art?
The boring part is all the paperwork and keeping up with entry deadlines etc. I have a lot coming up in the next few months and have to be sure I don’t miss any deadlines. I keep an Excel spreadsheet, and also a big handwritten copy on a large whiteboard have hung above my work area. That way I am constantly reminded of what is coming up. Today I spent hours updating and reviewing the information.
My exciting news for today is that I have been accepted to exhibit at the Hotel Grand Chancellor, Auckland, in Nina’s Cafe. This is a big area, requiring at least 10 paintings. More details to come, but this is a wonderful opportunity.

Nursing duty calls…
And not with Mum this time. Our wee dog, Faith, was spayed yesterday and she is not a happy girl. So tonight I am cuddling a whimpering puppy, not playing with paint. Back tomorrow!!
