I am trying to use every free moment right now to do the things I have to do so I can carve out blocks of time to paint and create. This painting is my interpretation of one in
An Introduction to Flower Painting by Elizabeth Harden. During the workshop that I took last week, I was introduced to a wonderful painter from the UK, Shirley Trevena, and would love to get her books. However, funds are slim so I put them on my wishlist and hopefully will get them for my birthday later this year. I thought that I had seen some of her work before and when I got home, I dug through my watercolor books about painting flowers - I discovered that she has several paintings and a tutorial in
An Introduction to Flower Painting by Elizabeth Harden so I was thrilled and also inspired by the many great painters who are highlighted in the book, so I have spent the last several days painting flowers.
Lots to do today - I want to bake some cookies to put in the freezer to have with our after-dinner tea in the evenings, and I need to finish some projects for submission and DT work. My DH is almost recovered from his cold BUT guess who has caught it?! Yesterday I vegged a bit - finished a book, watched The Social Network (very good!), and then worked a little on a fabric mixed-media project.
It's been a very productive week for me!
Thanks for looking,
Chris
