Land Forms

Finally I have been to my studio to paint for the last 2 days. Yeah! This painting progressed to a showable form today. I started this 36x30 inch canvas some weeks ago, but then I went off to a couple of art shows, started weaving again, and doing a couple of scarf orders. Painting had to be put aside. Today I did computer work, organization for an all day conference tomorrow, then drove an order to Burlington to Frog Hollow. I kept going to the studio but when I got there, I wondered what energy I had left.

This is the painting as I found it today and I sat with it to understand where even to begin.  The top portion had not been touched the day before...what if I got out just a few colors for the top...white, green, and naples yellow....my palette already had some paint left on it which allowed for more mixing.  I made a lovely creamy color and I was off.  An hour later I looked at my watch.  Time had not been relevant while I was painting.  No music.  No book on tape.  I was singing a bit to myself and I was mixing colors and applying them to the canvas.  What a great thing to do!  I do love to paint.  Now what do I do to market my paintings?  Ah, that is the question......

Still to be able to make form dance, to come alive on a white canvas.  That is a joy.  Maybe Friday will find me at the studio again....Thanks for checking in.
