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 ...
the roses are so pretty
ReplyDeleteLovely collection of paintings and clearly all your style!
ReplyDeleteSusan,
ReplyDeleteThank you.
I feel my work is still all over the place. I keep trying out different things, most that inspire me in other's work. For a while there, I wanted my work to have large areas of colors/values (like the work of Carol Maine), but I have discovered in the past year that I keep going to a larger varied in values. I am still learning that although, I appreciate certain techniques in other's, they may not be "right" for my work. Have a wonderful day. Carolina E.
Carolina! I LOVE this painting!!! But it looks like its not for sale. Do you have any open field photos with trees? Your work is STUNNING and I'd LOVE to have it in my home! :)

Hi Carolina
ReplyDeleteThe painting arrived safely and I love it, thank you so much! I posted about it today, but neither your picture nor mine do justice to your painting.
