I set this up before I left for Arkansas, about a week ago. Yesterday, I was anxious to go and get my eye surgery, and wanting something to occupy a few hours. I started this, no drawing at all, just began with my brush, locating areas of extreme light and dark, and letting the image just emerge. I started to see a shoe there, ( these are very old, and worn, from an antique sale... ) and I just kept refining. It was kinda fun, no hassle or pressure. The little quilt is one I made for my granddaughter for her baby dolls, out of left over fabric from a baby quilt I recently completed. All in all, I like the results, because they truly are looser than my usual paintings. Since these could have actually been 'baby boomer ' shoes, I named it "Naptime, circa 1950", with the help of my daughter...
Here's a different perspective on these little guys. They are such fun to paint, and remind me of my darling grandbabies.
Getting back into the Daily Painting BIZ.....Hopefully my newer style will show through.
Now, you know we can't go through life without distractions, but I'm going to stay focused, and not let them take over... ha ha ! That's what happens when you love to do EVERYTHING.... but I want to paint SOOO badly.... so, here goes.....
