February – Day 16

Day 16? Why does that sound like we are so much further than half way? Sixteen is sounding very optimistic to me. Sixteen is close to twenty. And twenty is very close to thirty.

You might have to remind me of this in a few days. The third week is usually the longest for me. Don’t know why. Then all of the sudden it is the last week, and the days fly by before I know it.

There is so much terrific texture in this, that I just had to share a detail. The small squares are the texture of the panel. When I added the collage, I used Ultra Mat Gel (Liquitex). I put a layer over the entire piece, for added texture. The hatch marks in the white crayon are from the brush marks. Really love that 🙂

Cheers to optimistic week three!

This month has been very hectic for me. I just realized, that I labeled some of my posts on Instagram wrong. And I spaced posting a reminder about the giveaway this week. Geesh!

So the numbers for this drawing were Day #5 (of the week), and the 7th comment.

Congratulations Christine Brooks!

Let me know which of these you would like!

I am still intrigued by this sparse style. It feels familiar to me. Reminds me of some of Georgia O’Keeffe’s work. Not my painting. The style.

There are a couple of things I would change about this. I did not realize I was painting with gloss navy blue. Sealing the piece would take care of that. And I did not add any line work. That might help. Or shading to show a rise on the front range.

There is both blue and turquoise in the sky, on this screen it is not showing at all unfortunately. Hope you can see it on yours. I think the sky came out rather nice.

Maybe it is a work in progress. Not unhappy with it. Taking a second look, those few details stand out. Fixable!
