I am really trying to get back into a painting routine, and think I have finally gotten a start. I haven't painted much at all since starting the moving/relocation process and I am definitely ready for some creativity! About a week ago, I got out my palette, and a pad of watercolor paper and got nowhere. Sometimes, I think the most difficult part of painting is thinking of WHAT to paint and getting focused. Yesterday I sat down with a plan to just paint a few small watercolors and to paint things I enjoy painting. Well, with a pile of beach glass and sea shells in front of me- it worked! Sometimes, artistic mojo and too much thinking just don't mix. After I relaxed and didn't worry about painting a masterpiece- I just had fun. Now to find (and keep) my artistic mojo- wherever it may be.
Glad to see you painting again Sheryl! And those colors in the glass is just so pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteWelcome back to painting Sheryl! Sometimes I clean up in the studio and then all of a sudden I find myself motivated to paint. Have fun!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Crystal- I like painting beach glass with all the colors, so it seemed like a good place to start.
ReplyDeleteThank you, Dora- I do hope this is the beginning of a routine, I want to get back to (almost) daily painting!
Welcome back! I've missed your posting. I'm quite fond of sea glass so it is a treat to see your painting of it. Very real looking to me. It is great that you really had fun doing it. You're off to a great start for 2012!
ReplyDeleteWhoo hoo, you're back and painting - and doing so very well! Have missed you, Sheryl, so lovely to see you here again! xx
ReplyDeleteHappy to see you painting again, Sheryl. I like the way you painted the different shapes and values within each of the glass and shells.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Claire! I missed painting and keeping track of what all of my fellow artists were posting!
