THE LITTLE RED HOUSE...

 This started out as an intuitive painting, again. And it was many things before this came to me. It is so astounding and surprising what comes from our imaginations when we let it flow.
 After applying regular paint and then open acrylics with a palette knife, i picked up a brush, didn't like it, then another and another...hmmmm....
 I went back to the palette knife and then another palette knife, and fell in love and dug in! Richard my husband made a special frame for me out of smashed copper piping...it found it's home surrounding the little neighborhood :))
I feel so blessed to have found this absolute painting passion in my life. And i am so fortunate to have many persons involved with myself and this endeavor. i never knew that one could feel so profound over this gift.

i hope that you too, are exploring your gifts, stepping out of the box OFTEN, and loving life for all it throws us!

    I love the simplistic feel of this piece - the red house adds a certain emotion to the feel of the overall work. The texture is bold and uncomplicated. You speak so beautiful of your passion for art -

    WOW!! The texture is so pretty, Wanda. Love how carefree you are. I am getting to that point, and it is like a weight has been lifted off my shoulders. You are miles ahead of me, but I'm coming up behind you..heehee

    You know I'm gonna be emailing you for directions on how Richard made that gorgeous frame. :) Aw..I won't cuz I don't want to copy you, and I don't have any pipe around, anyway..but how very unique, and the color matches the painting, too! Bravo!! You work so well together. <3

    I agree to the fullest it is a true gift to create with the tools that we buy or find or nature provides, to have that wonderful distraction of art adds the best element to our lives.
    You create in the most lovely charm. There is a nudge to your work that says go get busy.

    Hi! I just found your blog and am so happy I did!! I am in complete love with this painting!!! I love the bold, loose strokes! It's reminding me to loosen up in my own work because I've been getting too tight and caught up in little details!! I love everything about this piece, the colors, that red house, the frame (WOW!!!). I'm so inspired right now!! Beautiful post... I too feel so blessed to have the "art passion" in my life!! Happy painting to you!

    You are really moving forward, growing, and the texture is amazing. How lucky to have a special framer, too. This is an awesome frame.
