I haven't felt well the last couple of days, and unfortunately haven't been able to paint at all until today. I glanced at this salt shaker down in the kitchen as I passed by on my way up the studio and couldn't resist the wavy salt (actually almost empty). It didn't turn out just like I had hoped, so I'll probably give it another try soon. It always takes me a little while after a break (even 2 days) to get back into the groove. Sometimes I even feel like I've forgotten how to paint. Sound familiar - anyone, anyone???
um, it sure does ;)
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon.
Oh, yeah, know that feeling too. This came out beautifully though. I love this soft turquoise background, with just that touch of orange underpainting. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteI just started back painting after almost a year off. It is difficult to get back in the groove of things. Feel better!
ReplyDeleteI love your work by the way:)
Yes indeed--in fact, I posted those exact same words earlier yesterday! It seems like a break disrupts the process even more when it's due to illness. Get well soon!
ReplyDeleteWow ...you make a simple object into a work of art. I love looking at your paintings, does genius rub off I wonder?
ReplyDeleteHope you feel better soon.
You're so right about getting back into the swing of things; it seems to take a bit to get back into the mind set and the process.
ReplyDeleteI do like this one! Love how you've captured the idea of the glass refracting and reflecting....
I like how you walk by your salt shaker and think this would make a great painting, lol. I seem to spend so much time wondering around the house with objects for my still lifes. My husband just shakes his head as I go by.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful painting as are all of your others. Nice style.
ReplyDeleteI'm always at the top of my game when it comes to painting!!! And if you believe that, I have some swamp land in Death Valley that I'd like to sell to you. Your work looks great. You seem to always be on top of your game with colors!
ReplyDeleteI absolutely agree about 'forgetting' how to paint after a little break! But, brush in hand, it all comes rushing back, and your Salt On Blue is a perfect example. Glad you took some time to recover, though.
ReplyDeletelove the glass!
