Dusk on the Vineyard

I have painted more than I thought I would in this 4 day event, and as a result I am running out of panels!  This painting has a secret, there is another landscape underneath it!  It was a lake scene that I really didn't care for, so I painted the beautiful vineyard of Nobeleis right over the top of it!  Now - I love it!  Painting number 1353 in 1353 days :)

I'm SO glad to have small panels to paint on again!  On these days that are so busy and full of activities, I can easily squeeze in a small painting - where a larger one might be impossible!  I am also pushing the "easy button" today by painting a loose, impressionistic floral.  These were given to me two years ago by my son Tyler for Mother's Day, and they grow outside my kitchen window.  These are one of my favorite flowers - and I really enjoy painting them!  It just makes me happy to think of the warm summer days and their fragrance wafting into the windows!  This makes painting number 430 in 430 days.  I like mixing up my subject matter from day to day - that special something about variety being the spice of life :)
