The Reds

I was scrolling through old posts and was about to delete this one but decided instead to share it again. These were some of my very first paintings.  I'm amazed at how much I've improved although I have to say that two of these paintings are still great favourites of mine!

May 16, 2011:  Red, orange and yellow have been dancing in my head for the last few weeks so I let it all out and wound up with four new paintings. 

The last painting didn't look at all the way I wanted it to.  It was supposed to be the sun casting its rays out across a beautiful orange sky but I couldn't get the paint to do what I wanted it to.  It looked like a big fried egg!!  Even feathering the colours together did nothing that suited me do so I painted over it:

Look familiar?? I can't seem to get enough of this flower!  After some very frustrating moments, the mood I was in passed and I have some paintings that I like very much to show for it.  I love that I can take the emotions I'm feeling, distract myself completely with creating something and find myself in a completely free and happy state of mind when I'm finished. :)

Painting pictures soothes the soul.  It truly does.

Have a happy day!
