Thoughts on Painting

Here is today's progress from out in the studio. It was so beautiful this morning....nice and toasty in the studio with snow swirling outside. I felt like I was working in a snow globe! I have some beautiful tulips, roses, and lilies that I'm painting....only the tulips and a rose have made it into the painting so far but there are many more flowers to come! I am also working on a large (36 x 48") landscape. I can only work on the big one a few hours at a time, because for some reason it kills my shoulder. I have found that alternating between the big painting and a smaller still life means I can actually walk at the end of the day.

I have been busy trying to finish a couple of paintings for upcoming juried shows that I want to enter and also a request from one of my galleries for some small works. It's been a hectic, but wonderful, beginning of 2012. I'll post again next week when these paintings are finished.....have a fantastic 3 day weekend!
