I had a vision of this painting before I painted it. I was lying in bed with my eyes closed, after having just woken up. The first thing I think about is what I'm going to paint for the day, but I usually have just very vague images as ideas. This time I envisioned this almost exactly. I jumped out of bed and ran to my studio to capture it. Ok, so maybe I stopped to have breakfast along the way, but ...
The red center is sooo beautiful and juicy. What red did you use I wonder? And is it straight from the tube where the red is the most intense?
ReplyDeleteHow wonderful that your intuition led you to what to paint today. Love the brush strokes.
ReplyDeleteHi Carol and thank you for the fab. workshop I have never felt so encouraged to paint.
ReplyDeleteAfter a wonderful visit with our granddaughter right after the workshop I was anxious to send her home so I could start painting; that has never has happened before. Jim loved your truck painting. Had you thought of a name for it?
Thanks again, I highly recommend your workshops to one and all. Keep SQUINTING!
Isn't it wonderful to wake up with a complete painting in one's mind. And then to actually paint it -- wonderful
ReplyDeleteThank you all!
ReplyDeleteShirley, I beleive the most intense color IS red straight from the cad red tube, yes.
Sandra, I am so glad you enjoyed the workshop! A title for the truck painting? Perhaps, "Old Gas Truck". My creative brain is on vacation. : )
It makes me want too eat it!
