Creating a painting is not assembly line work.  Taking time to linger and consider where your painting is going and what you should next is good.  That time spent pondering is probably one of the most important things in creating art.  Painting a work of art is not craft work. Painting is about creating something that never existed before nor will exist again. The process of  creating a painting will take time.  Each painting requires a different approach and creative process, both of which are rewarding.

In the past week, I finished my painting of an old yellow door with paint peeling and framed it in an old window frame. In addition, it is packed and ready to go to Buckhorn Festival of the Arts on August 13 and 14th.

I originally painted this more than 5 years ago and recently repainted over it to give it more texture.

If you were interested in participating in my online workshop to paint the Abbaye Notre Dame de Sénanque and the lavender field, I'm sorry to say that it is full. However, you will have an opportunity to purchase access to the recording.

 

Don't tell anyone but in November and December, I will again have some of my paintings in the quaint Da Artisti Gallery in Cumberland, ON. More on that in a few months.

 

Have a creative week,

Danielle
