When I paint these, I am only thinking about how the colors might look together. The feeling that the combination might evoke. Might be stretching a bit here with the title. When I had finished, I thought of the evening sky, the last fading light as it hits the clouds.
I can’t wait to get home and catch up with everyone!

One of my first visits to Phoenix, we saw a haboob. It was incredible. We were inside the hotel room, on the second or third floor. Day turned to night. It passed quickly, and by morning, the weather was calm.
It’s a huge sand storm. HUGE. Basically, winds from a storm shoot straight down towards the ground. That stirs up a huge wall of dust which is carried on those winds for miles.
Here’s a look:
Today’s painting reminded me of one of these storms. We have had a couple of mini’s behind the house. When it was still just a field. A sunny day quickly became grey and dark. They are stunning to watch. I hope I am never out and about when one hits. Certainly not driving.
Happy weekend! We are down to the last seven!
Day 22, Keep On The Sunny Side. 8 x 8 Acrylic on paper. © 2017 Sheila Delgado
Yesterday I thought the painting was missing something. Today’s piece might have too much going on. I was working on a time crunch, watching the clock. I don’t think my mind was fully focused.
I tried a different process with the gauze and paint, the results are not what I had in mind, Again. LOL. You can see on the left, the spread is larger, but the pattern is broken and unrecognizable. Yup. I think I went overboard. Maybe I will feel different in the morning.
Road trip tomorrow. I am going to try to keep up with everything, but I am not sure if we will have internet. Will be spending much of the time in the car.
Have a great weekend Everyone. Thanks so much for following along, and letting me know what you think. You’ve given me great ideas to try!
