Two more paintings started. I usually work on one painting at a time, but I am trying to work on several at a time now so I have more paintings done by the time the art show rolls around. I'm not sure if any of the ones I have done for the art show are actually finished. I plan on having them all out where I can see them and work on each of them as I see something that needs adjusting.
I had not painted in acrylics for several years and now I am getting back into it. It seems that it will take me some time to get a system worked out to approach doing a painting. I don’t think too hard about what colours I am going to use to start with, but I think I should plan it out so I can have colour mixed ahead of time. Right now I start by doing the drawing in soft pastel or charcoal and then begin placing lights and darks, not always in local colour, but sometimes.
Gene had been away for 10 days or so, so I was able to focus on the painting more than usual. I’m glad he’s home safe, only 5 stitches, and it was fun showing him all the new work. I am hoping I can keep up the momentum that I seem to have gained this past while in my work. We’ll see.
