Photo of painting

In a previous post, I mentioned finishing another painting, but I was having trouble with my digital camera and couldn't post a picture. Since I have blogged a lot since then (gotta help pay the bills!) I decided to put the picture here in a new post, rather than going back to the previous one and adding the picture.

Because of the flash, the blue in the painting looks much more turquoise. The actual painting is more of a "denim" blue. The title of the piece is "Winter."

Painting again!

I have officially gotten back into painting and I am so excited! I haven't painted in five years, so it feels really good to do it again. It is a great stress reliever for me. I don't know why I waited this long - there's always the excuse of how busy I am. But since painting calms me, I should have been making the time to do it all along. It probably would have helped me with the stress of motherhood.

My goal is to get about ten good paintings done and then taking them to the Artist Colony to set them up for sale. It sounds like a neat thing they have going on over there. So hopefully by spring I will be ready - just in time for the tourism to pick up again.
