Going Big and Giving Thanks

Still Life with Roses, Figs and Mint Julep Cup,  Oil on 8"x10" Linen Panel
SOLD
Above is the biggest oil painting I've done to date. I must say, it's been challenging not reaching for the small brushes, but I really enjoyed working on a "big" canvas.

Now about the GiveAways: I can't say how honored I am by your support, comments and for the time you take to visit my blog. THANK YOU. I had so much fun doing the GiveAway and cannot wait to do another soon.
THE WINNER IS Sally. Sally, I decided to let the winner choose between two paintings-the two below. You have until Sunday to let me know which one you want and where you'd like it mailed.

Labor of Love

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 ...

I decided this week I would "make" things go a little slower to get myself to relax. I get a lot of inspiration from so many other blogs, for my home and for my art. So, I went to several blogs that I've loved for so long, but really got to stay for a while. It was absolutely indulging--I wish I could do that more often.  There are times when I "have to" paint a certain item and I search and search as it nags at me until I find it. That was the case with the snap dragons below. I was thrilled to find them after most of June and July searching for them. I think they are perfect with the pink carnations. Although I am also working on a painting that is just the snap dragons. I did have to go a bit bigger than my usual paintings...
