My theme for studio time today seems to be juggling. Juggling projects and juggling thoughts. I brought the 24"x48" cityscape from earlier this week up to my living room to live with if for a while. This is my most useful way to truly
see my paintings when I am unsure about them. Next, I started a project for my friend
Mary Nasser's blog hop she is hosting next week. Sorry, no pics 'til next week! I made progress on two more works in progress. Normally I would have loved the pace, but today my mind was also juggling things unrelated. Such is life, right? Thankfully my work ended on a really great note. I found a place of concentration long enough to really enjoy working on my
"grown up confetti" painting I started earlier this week. I was even lucky enough to get a
goose bump moment. That's a moment when the colors come together just right in a way that my heart actually jumps and I just KNOW that my choice was correct. It makes me squeal a little.

Okay, I can't help it, here is a little sneak peek from the work I did for Mary's blog hop next week...I can't help myself. It was so much fun and I haven't even started painting yet!

| Prepping my boards for my project using Mary Nasser's map stencil she designed. Tune back in on October 2nd for the Blog Hop. There will be give aways! |
love how these two pieces are coming together, such great colour and textures :-) I always like to 'live' with my art for a time as well, seeing it from various angles, lighting just helps me 'see' what I can't always see in the studio.
ReplyDeleteThank you for continuing to keep up with my blog Bren! You are so right a new location for my paintings completely changes how I see it.
