Finished this one early this week. It had been sitting in my studio unfinished for a few months. I was looking at it last weekend, and suddenly knew what I had to do to finish it. The size is 19″ x 19″. I plan to go larger in my next paintings, before this I wanted to wait until I felt more comfortable with the whole process after not painting for so many years.
I think I can credit my recent class with Flora Bowley for the ease I feel now when painting. She reminded us to trust our intuition and just let the painting happen without thinking about what we are doing so much. I have been doing that and also painting with my hands some instead of a brush, with seems to be very effective. Besides acrylic paints I also used fabric and a little bit of sheep’s roving.

LOVE the color and light in this painting!
Thanks so much for your comment and compliment!
Your colors are fabulous! How do you get them so vibrant? What kind of acrylics do you use if I may ask? You are multi-talented…I love how you incorporate the sheep wool too. Such a beautiful painting. I love the orange in the ones you posted above too. You have a new fan : )
I use Golden paints and mediums, but I also use Martha Stewart’s line of craft paints. The colors are beautiful with no mixing! I choose my colors purely by intuition, but I’ve been painting for many years. Thanks for your comment!
