It's hard to believe it's been almost a month since my last blog post. As we near mid-September, I can look back with fondness at this past summer. Weather wise as a whole, it has been stellar since last May. I've painted more in the past four months than I have in quite a while. I've painted everything from barns, to flowers, to seascapes, to abstracts, with sizes ranging from 8x10 to 24x30. I spent an astronomical amount of time outdoors, painting, and reading.
I've shared this before - I'm not a technological person. As a result, I realize that my Internet and social media presence has been somewhat minimal at best. Perhaps when the winter weather settles in again by December, that I'll be posting more blogs. As a result of my unpredictability, I've changed the name of my blog yet again. I feel the title of "The Painting Spectrum" is more accurate than ever now that I've thrown the time-frame portion out the window.
The work I'm highlighting today was influenced by a book I read about Shakespeare's gardens. The geranium flowers that are in the gardens are exquisitely beautiful. It took several layers for not only the flower, but also the background to get things just right.
Until next time,
The Happy Painter,
Jill
