Sunflowers in Cobalt Blue Vase, Oil on 5 "x7" Linen Panel SOLD Private Collection in San Saba, TX First, I must say that everything I paint is because I absolutely love. I don't like to paint things that I don't find to be attractive to me for one reason or another. Sometimes it's sentimental reasons and other times it's as simple as beautiful colors or the texture. Either way, it's something that I want to capture and stare at for long periods of time. I want to study it and how it affects the environment around it, as in the case of Sunflowers in Cobalt Blue Vase does. In that respect, I feel ALL my paintings are a labor of love. More often than not, I have to create a painting, wipe it all down, and start all over again if something is just not working. Some never get completed and I just end up painting something totally different on that panel. Then there are some, that I just have to paint, no matter how much trouble they are giving ...

Very Pretty but may I ask why they are all drawn on such small panels?
ReplyDeleteThank you for your visit and your wonderful compliments. I am a full time Spanish teacher. I paint late at night when my kiddos are in bed and in the weekends between lesson plans, laundry, cooking and all the other family things. Small pieces allow me to complete work in those times. If they are too large, by the time I come back to them I would be tired of it.
ReplyDeleteI am also a jewelry maker and love small things. :)
PS, I am hoping this summer to work on several bigger pieces that I started a long time ago. Wish me luck.
