"Promise of a New Day" - Oils 8 x 10"

Today is Day 3.

 Skyscapes are one of my favorite things, 

and it seemed fitting to do this in oils. 

I enjoyed painting this, although I had a headache 

most of the day.  (By the time of completion it was gone!) Probably the hardest thing was taking the photo of it, those texture highlights near the edges.

About 3/4 finished I took the photo below,

 before final colors added & blended.

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.
