Whisper of Spring
Oil on wood, 22x26 |
I actually had three whole uninterrupted painting hours this afternoon - and this is what I can do with such a block of time! I was SO completely in the zone while painting - it was very, VERY hard to stop on time to pick up the grandsons! When I am in the zone, it is euphoric. My heart beats faster, adrenaline kicks up, and the thrill of it all washes over me like magic. As I approached this landscape, I had an idea of where I wanted to go with the paint - but then I just let go of the reigns and let the painting happen! This one is rather large at 22x26, but it poured off the brush quickly, more like a smaller size. I have used some palette knife in the finish, but relied heavily on my favorite brushes for most of it - and oh how I love the oils for a landscape! I think I will let this one rest on my own wall, living with it, to see if it calls for anything else. This painting makes 1116 in 1116 days, and Day 23 of the current
30 Day Painting Challenge. What a great painting day :)
That is just what happens to me--I lose time. Lovely image--3 hours well spent. xo

That euphoric feeling sounds familiar! And the feeling afterwards! It's like you'd run a marathon. Painting is also so physical work.
ReplyDeleteI look at your peaceful landscape and listen to the whisper of spring.
This painting takes me someplace calm and wonderful. Lovely!
