I have long struggled to get the image in my brain, through my hands and onto paper or canvass. My drawings and doodles don't end up looking anything like the image in my mind. This mystified my father who seemed to have an innate talent for drawing and the couple of times he tried painting his work was amazing (he didn't stay at it because he didn't know what to do with the paintings and it cost money.)
I do enjoy playing with paints and colors. I find it very relaxing, very zen. So I paint, despite the fact that my painting of an apple looks more like a moldy pumpkin in January.
I love the mid-century modern color blocks, and liniar art. Some of mine turn out better then others. This one is the colors of spring leaves, the one below the mauves and pinks of the spring bloom.
So there is what I have been painting recently. These are all the same size, 10 by 20 inches. I like working in this size. I have several more canvases in this size waiting for me.
The second last one appeals to me. I have no talent for anything artistic.

DeleteWhy not paint a picture of The Wicked Hamster? Alternatively, you could paint a picture ON The Wicked Hamster.
ReplyDeleteHe would end up looking like a mouse not a hamster
Delete😁😁😁
DeleteDon't you mean a moose?
DeleteAt best a hedgehog
DeleteI like the two linear ones; great colors. Hang those two side-by-side .
ReplyDeletethe plan was those two make a pair.
DeleteI think those are all great. They would look amazing hanging together in a collage in a long hallway!!!!! They make me feel happy. Be proud.
ReplyDeleteI am running out of wallspace.
DeleteI like them and think you do a great job! The colors are terrific!
ReplyDeleteThank you, and it is fun
DeleteI like the linear ones too. You've inspired me to paint as I brought home some blank canvases and some paint from my classroom when I retired!
ReplyDeleteKind of like blogging, do it because you enjoy it.
DeleteThese are great! I love paintings with patterns to them and these fit that bill. Keep it up!
ReplyDeleteThank you, I will keep working at it.
DeleteI have signed up for an online watercolor class and can do it on my own time. Right now I'm at the supplies needed segment. I relate to your style of painting - lines, patterns, color combinations. You're an inspiration! Please post more of your art as you create.
ReplyDeleteMichaels and Blick's have stores in this area. Blicks has a little better quality. Michaels has the best price on Canvas.
DeleteVery nice. I have zero talent painting or drawing, so sticking with photography!
ReplyDeleteWe all have hidden talents.
