Infield at Creekside

SOLD 

 

This is the largest, giant fiber optic tree sculpture I have ever seen - so OF COURSE, I HAD to paint it!!  When I walked up on site, all I could think was, "Wow!" It was so unexpected, and gigantic!  The leaves look like pale green glass, and were not illuminated in the morning.  I stood and really studied this scene before I marked a line.  After my line work, I ate my salad as I stared at my paper, envisioning the next step.  I rarely do this on any painting, so intuitive the whole process is to me.  But this painting called for it, so I let this painting unfold thoughtfully.  I try to always listen to that small voice inside, and go where I am lead.  I am honored this painting was selected for the Creekside Purchase Award tonight!  Painting number 4664 in 4664 days.

I forgot to post this tiny painting - I must have been in a hurry to get out of the cold!  I found it while reorganizing my car, so I thought I'd better post it. Every once in a while, paintings slip through the cracks and I don't have a record of them.  A friend just bought one of my paintings in a shop and I have no pic on site or post on my blog, only the oil painting that I painted using that ink sketch for reference.  These watercolor half pans are from Prima, their Essence collection of Watercolor Confections.  Great colors for winter landscapes, and perfect for the artist on the go.  The fabulous new fountain pen is a TWSBI Diamond AL R in limited edition Emerald Green - just in time for St.  Patrick's day!  Painting number 2977 in 2977 days.
