A Landscape it is!

"Let it Rest"

10" x 12" acrylic on canvas

soon to be available on Etsy

Just finished this painting today. The funny thing about it...is that after I had completed work on it the other day, James came into the studio when I wasn't there and turned it upside down. He said it looked like a really interesting landscape and he liked it that way.

After looking at it again, I tended to agree so I continued to work on it in the position he left it. I started out with such a different intention with this piece but my husband gently nudged me in a new direction. The magic of art making...I love it when things like that happen!

Stuff 'n things

Hope you're all doing well out there and not experiencing the arctic chill we're having here in Boulder. Yesterday it didn't get above 3 degrees! Ack!

I took this photo in my studio this morning. There's some collage material, new brushes, paint, etc. in usual disarray and a canvas in the upper right corner just waiting for attention. I tweaked the picture a little in Photoshop with the poster edge filter.

Last weekend we went to an art opening at a new gallery just north of here called Rabid Rabits Galeria. I especially enjoyed seeing the work of Colorado Artist, Anthony Grant. Anthony had a series of Hummingbird paintings that were so beautiful. The example below doesn't do them justice because in person, they almost glowed with color and energy. Check out Anthony's website when you get a chance.

I've been painting all week in the studio so hope to have a few things to show you soon. I like to photograph my finished pieces outside but it's been too dang cold to do that this week!

Happy Groundhog Day by the way!
