Surrounded


Surrounded
Oil on ultra fine canvas, mounted on masonite and framed, 8.75x11" $150 Email me

I'm really enjoying my painting routine. I get up early and start to paint, and finish around lunchtime. Then we have our main meal and I am free to fool around the rest of the day. This ends up meaning that I am reading novels. I love to read but could never get my time organized so that there was time for it, without feeling like I ought to be doing something more important.

When I look at what the other daily painters are doing, I see a variety of small works, like 3x4" or 6x6". I have painted canvases that small, but I prefer the larger sizes, which I think make for a better finished presentation.

    Pears and plums again? There must be other sources of inspiration.....waiting to be discovered or noticed.

    You're very talented and accomplished in all that you do, however you should consider toning down your palette to see what happens. Study G. Morandi.

  3. Personally, I like the intense color of the plums on the softer background. But that's just me :)

    I've gotten into the same routine. Do my "work" in the morning, eat our main meal early and then I have the rest of the day to "play". It took me a while not to feel guilty that I wasn't "working" at something ALL the time. Hey, what's retirement for if not to enjoy yourself...right?? :)
