watercolor and pen on Aquabord

Didn't photograph right - lately I have been having trouble with that, perhaps it's the light at the time of day I take my finish photo?  Dunno.

Painting 30 in 30 - Day 11/Sostenuto

"Sostenuto"

acrylic on wrapped canvas

18" x 24"

I see many things in this one, at first I saw birthday candles, 

then I saw piano hammers/striking the soundboard.

Thus - sostenuto - which means 'sustained' in Italian.

An Acrylic Painting on Claybord

BFF's

5" x 7"

Working from a pile that is stacked to be filed in the studio, in my genre folders, these past several days.  Something about each of them spoke to me at that moment of sifting through them.  I LOVE the way the paint reacted on the surface of this painting. 

It was an experiment, but I think I will search for some more claybord and do some larger pieces on it.  I got this source photo from Morguefile - a website where you can use photos with permission by virtue of their posting. 

I moved these two closer together, loved the sunlight in their hair and on the edge of their skin.  So each of these last three paintings are considered 'daily paintings'. 

Slow as I Go...

"Aspen Grove Closeup - near Gould, Co."

There seem to be so many things that get in the way of creating these days, must be the season beginning to change.  Lots to do, little time to do it.
