Today I will be working at one of my favorite high schools so will be away from my studio...HOWEVER...I happen to know I will have time to do my "other" work so I'm taking my acrylics. I want to do more like my recent triptych...this time Mt. Evans I think... YEA collage!
I have been playing at my oils again...WOW it is FUN! I did a 6x9" oil on panel of the boat for Dana Marie's Inspiration All Around Us challenge blog. I think I'm just calling it green boat. The reference photo had more blue in the boat, but I felt it needed a bit of a color change from the water...Today my goal was NOT to overwork, so I was more loose on the strokes...Some of you may say THAT IS LOOSE???...and I would say...YES, for me in oils it is...my goal is to be loose and interpret rather than create an exact replica...
So, off to work soon...HAPPY CREATING to you all!!

Gosh, Saundra. Your oils are just beautiful, I think. Considering I own a Lane original collage/acrylic piece and it is stunning, I can only imagine how astonishing these oils are in person. You never fail to amaze me. I always love your joy and zest for life too.
Thanks Autumn Leaves...Your enthusiastic comments are part of what motivate me!! Especially at this very early hour...getting ready to sub...I really love oils again!
You did well Saundra. Nice painterly, fresh and certainly not overdone.
Very nice.
Thanks Gary...I'm getting back in the swing of things!!
This is terrific Saundra and I absolutely have to do it as well. The pic comes from my part of the world! Up the West Coast - Velddrif to be precise where I was over New Year AND I saw the boat as well. I now need to persuade Tereza to start her own blog!
Persuade her Liz! It was a fun painting to do! How cool that you saw it!! I'm still loving my oils again!!
