Partly Cloudy Sunshine

The work is done. A painting for the day. Successful learning, if not successful looking. The scan is not true to life. There is a playful interaction between the butterscotch and the yellow, only slightly visible here. The blues are deeper indigo, and the greens somewhat brighter.

I love the shape of the head, the way the berry pooled. That was laid down first and formed the shape of the center. (Yellow, butterscotch then berry, green and indigo.) I love the texture in the center.

Partly cloudy is my favorite kind of day. Changes the colors on the mountains minute by minute. Click on the images for a closer look.

Oh, these vast, calm, measureless mountain days,
days in whose light everything seems equally divine,
opening a thousand windows to show us God.

Laying down the first layers. Paper, acrylic, palette knife.
Carpal tunnel acting up, so typing is a no go.

Happy Monday creating to you!

Received a text from Grandma to be. Mama is dilated at 2 cm. She is on her way.

“Happy Birth Day”

Came to my mind. I grabbed a canvas, dropped some ink, dripped some more. A few blades of grass, a wash of blue and I was done. So tempted to add Yellow or pink. But this fits mama’s color scheme.

Any day now!
