Resuming 100 days of painting abstracts


I did the grow your blog post and attempted to add follower's to my blog. And then life happened and I had to take a break to drive to my old hometown. I was gone for more than a week and I got to spend some time with my grandchildren. The prospect of taking painting supplies and keeping myself trained on this current series was just not feasible so I gave myself permission to take a break. If you would still like to join my blog just leave me a note and I will include you in my give away which are one of the three illustrations at the top of my previous post. You don't have to follow me to be included in the giveaway but I'd sure love it if you did. So back to abstracts .. I have been bouncing around trying different things to create the work that I am doing in this series. I am still drawn to the reds and yellows so I may stay with that for a while. This painting is a rectangle about the size of 8 x 15. It is on a wood panel. I have decided to paint abstract about things that are happening in my life. I have been through some difficulties in life just as everyone else. Some are worse than others, I have to deal with how my decisions in life have affected my children. I'm am grateful for time which has a way of lessening the impact of hearing and realizing things about the people that I love the most. I'll also paint about this feeling of loss. I know it is loss .. not sure it will be evoked in the works but either way it will be the catalyst. Maybe it will move me into more joy. That is not my intent it is my way of giving the work a focus. It is after all, my experiment. Thanks for stopping over and as always .. I love to hear your thoughts about the work .. I will call this painting.. Cross My Heart. If you would like to own this painting please email me at iwilldream4ever@aol.com. Have a fantastic day!!!
