I'm listening! Many of you like that final stage when the flowers are ready but before I cover the underpainting with the real background and foreground color (underpainting is the first layer of paint/color I use to cover the panel...some might give a different name to this layer, but underpainting got stuck in my vocab 🤣). Soooo.... I'll work on a group of paintings where I don't cover that first layer. I'll try different colors...not just my fav. cadmium red. In this case it is indigo (a very dark blue).

There is just one more week (closed tomorrow Sunday because of the weather forecast) to enjoy the Alphonse Mucha exhibition (and store 😉) @ncartmuseum ...and I want to share some of my favorites...of course cropped so they fit the square! If you live nearby, do not miss enjoying this in person! An exhibition as unique as Mucha. (Pay attention to his palette when you go there).

Recording the one minute video today and posting i

Recording the one minute video today and posting it took me about one hour...one hour I had reserved for painting. So I didn't finish my painting today. Here it is in progress and a lesson I need to share: Sometimes you have to push through an ugly stage of a painting and quiet down all those thoughts that come at that time: "I forgot how to paint flowers", "I shouldn't stop painting over the holidays", "I should stick with buildings", "I'm putting this directly in the trash"...nope! Take a breath and trust the process, look again at your subject and see what is missing on your painting, and with just a few confident brushstrokes keep going. I'm so glad I kept going! And remember, always stop when is going well. (I'll finish tomorrow 😉).

Yes I painted, not posted. Now I posted post painting 🤣.
I transplanted my lenten roses to the ground last fall and, surprise! Full of flowers now! Free (and lovely!) props to paint. Yay!

Couldn't help it, I had to paint the @apexfriendship building again. This is at photo taken on a different day, the sky had a light cover of clouds behind the building, and the sun felt warmer this time. Still around 7:00am, view from the carpool lane, before dropping my son at school. (Capturing that orange on light took me two tries, and also the color reflected on the windows... relationships, relationships!)

Every weekday starts with this view around 7:00am. The line is long so I have time to look at the colors, take pictures (just when the car is not moving at all!!!), see how the shadows change, and depending on weather... everything changes. Do you recognize this building? Hint, it is @aroundapex @townofapex
