Finally, It is finished!
It seems that devoting time to my artwork has been a little sporadic over the months. Last year with my mom’s illnesses and then with my daughter’s near death, art endeavors were on hold.
However, I still keep reading art books that discuss various techniques and there are many good DVDs available where one can have a private lesson by the likes of people like Daniel Greene.
Not only are these methods helpful, there are the occassional workshops that can be taken and those are truly wonderful experiences for an artist.
Last year, I began a painting for my grandson. I started this painting at the beginning of summer. I wanted to keep with my daughter’s nursery theme…fish, so that is exactly what I did. I comprised the painting of 3 canvas panels that I purchased about 4 years ago. I had ideas for those panel, but never was able to put the ideas down.
I searched for various fish that might be interesting and I was able to find several including dolphins. Dolphins are a favorite of both daughters so Little Liam should like them as well.
For the medium, I felt acrylic would be a nice touch. I found bright colors and thought that would be a nice touch on a dark blue water scene.
Needless to say, after months of sporadic painting…I have completed the painting.
Liam’s Fantasy
And, during that time I attended a workshop in which I did this painting on Wallis sanded paper. I used an underpainting with pastel and I like the effect from the underpainting.
Sunflowers
Sorry for the reflections. It seems that my camera is so precise it picks up all the glare and reflections.
Hopefully, my creativity will continue and I can bring more to you in the coming months.
