….more trios from nature and one surprise
Sorry I’m a day late. I was having issues uploading my photos yesterday. I you’d like to share some photos of trios, I’d love to see them. Copy my link and paste it into your post. I’ll get a pingback and I’ll be sure to leave a comment.
….wacky maybe but definitely cute
….bringing you up to date
After struggling with my two larger paintings I’ve finally found a solutions that I’m happy with. Originally I wanted to do something in the colours of the Ukrainian flag but it just wasn’t working for me.
Then I decided to paint over the entire two pieces with white and blue. I kept adding more paint and again I wasn’t happy.
Finally I covered most of the paper with white and then I cut up the paper into 4 smaller pieces. I added marks to start my intuitive process and then I began to lay down colour.
I’m already starting to feel better and two of the four pieces are started.
One piece is almost done. The one below is probably 90% finished but I’m going to give it another day or so before I declare it ready for framing. It already looks quite a bit different from what you’re seeing.
Remember this is not the finished piece.

….Amy Maricle promotes slow drawing
On Days 10 and 11 I did more warm-up drawings and painting in my sketch book. Every day I do something to my bigger paintings but nothing feels right.
….slowly changing the big pieces
Not ready to reveal the larger painted pieces but I have been working on my mark making and smaller watercolour florals.
….love this little fellow
….to post or not to post
When a piece of art doesn’t work do you own up to it and post it anyway? Since I’m on this Daily Art Challenge for March I feel like I’m being dishonest when I don’t talk about my failed pieces. I seem to be in a rut right now. Nothing I do seems to work. I’ve painted over this one piece now three times. If it doesn’t work this time I think I need to start fresh and put this piece aside.
I wanted to paint using bright and cheery colours but it just didn’t work for me. I’m better off painting intuitively. Here is where it started and how I repainted over it this morning. No guarantees that this is going to work.
….Kevin’s family of mice finally have a name
…some days these warm-up activities are the best art I make for that day
