SUPPORTIVE friends, a world of wealth...
i jumped out of my car when i arrived at work last week, ran under one of the chinese pistache trees and shot many photos...one day these were just beginning to change and then overnight they turned so magnificent. they are all over the campus and so INSPIRATIONAL!!!
i don't usually frame my work with glass on them, but for some reason i really liked the trasformation the glass gave this simple painting...and then i loved how the photo shows the reflection of a window on the left :))
i have so much fun experimenting...always...while taking one of misty's classes i didn't have watercolor paints so tried turning my acryrlics into just that (it's done all the time i hear). any hoo, that's how i painted this one, with a little ink to outline. while painting it, i was THINKING of mistie and her words and her support and thought it looked like her...but then when i was done...i thought...this doesn't look like her at all, but happily i thought..."i love the feel, the emotions this has turned out and THAT'S just why mistie's paintings drew me in in the first place"! This was quite awhile back and now she sits on the San Clemente Pier in Southern California...for sale yes...in my niece's space...if she doesn't sell, i won't be sad...honest...i maybe should have saved her...we shall see what's meant to be! and i don't usually get so attached to my work...has this happened to you?
The previous post was a hasty trial at posting on BLOGGERS new modern version...i still have to learn so much, but know it's good for me :))
THANK YOU FOR PEEKING AND THANK YOU FOR LISTENING XOXO
Gorgeous, Wanda!
ReplyDeleteI was peeking and I was listening! I had a great time! :-)
ReplyDeleteShe's perfect under glass, and if she doesn't find a home--then she was meant for you , and yes, I know what you mean--I can get very attached to my pieces (I'll raise the prices of them :)
ReplyDeleteBut when they find a home--it's someone who appreciates them, and I have a feeling that she is going to find a new home too. Love yours in the previous post too.
So peaceful, I could imagine her listening, intend - hearing the words and feeling the words, reflecting back, not giving advice but creating space - lots of it for listening.
ReplyDeleteWanda, this is SO beautiful! I love that you used acrylics as watercolors too, that's something I've never tried. I'm sure she will find a good home, one way or the other.
ReplyDeleteHow groovy. No kidding. I love how you keep experimenting and growing. LIFE!! That red is amazing, isn't it? I have been taking photos of red. I've never known it to be so beautiful as it is lately!
ReplyDeleteI had to come by, myself that that thinks one thing and then does another has been up to no good. I thought Ihad visited late, I must of run in the door grabbed a cookie and left. If I could think long and hard I would do a painting called distraction, it may not be much different than what I usually do, that would be the humerous.
ReplyDeleteI love your angel, she ahs life together, she radiates calm and beauty. So I look at her and calm down a bit. We have a travle tomorrow that is difficult and it is late in the day. Makes me fidget.
love it Wanda!! I love to use pen and acrylics.
