HOW DOES MY GARDEN GROW?

stage Two

stage One

Last year I began a 30" x 30" canvas, not quite sure of end result, including composition. Using acrylics over texturizing with modeling paste, I mainly wanted a pleasant garden feeling.  Not  quite pleased with it, though had fun nonetheless.  I kept it on the easel roughly 4 months till finally satisfied and title is "Garden of My Heart".

Final Complete!

LAST WAR DANCE

SOME roughly 25 + years ago I painted a huge picture of this American Indian dancer, complete with feather shields, ankle bells & the whole bit.  I happened to hate the thing and wondered: "what am I to do with this monstrosity?" (Was approx. 24 x 36")
 I was talked into doing it by my at-the-time controlling husband. 
It sat in my studio for years amongst other works, so I one day covered it over with another painting.

 Glad, though to still have this small photo of it.

  I was going to use my drawing table to "draw" but could not bear to disturb the pieces stored on top of it.  Guess I'll just use my lap for my sketchbook and sit on the couch.  One by one they will be finished. Meanwhile, got these all titled..  :)
