Juggling Projects and Thoughts

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.
48"x12" WIP Added more color today.

Filled my pallet with super pretty colors. 

Close up of the 48"x12" WIP (grown up confetti) I added more fun colors  today.
The fruits of my labor from today on the easel. Still more work to do, but I like them so far.

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!

Alternate Universe

Alternate Universe
8in x 8in
SOLD

I think my 11 year old son is wearing off on me. My latest 8x8's have this science fiction theme and feel to them. It might also be an episode of Fringe I watched that was about an alternate universe. Whereever this is coming from, wouldn't it be great to live in the other universe for a while? This is painting is where I would like to be. Somewhere peaceful, calm and beautiful. Maybe even stress free! There I go with crazy thoughts again....

Finding the Good

Finding the Good
8"x8"
SOLD
Finding the Good is as much an affirmation for me as it is a painting. I must always remind myself to find the good when things are feeling a little overwhelming. In this painting the blue represents to good. Kind of like blue skies ahead. It may be small and hard to find amidst life's little obstacles, but it is there if you look hard enough for it.
