Late Fall River and Meadows
I've been so busy designing this past year that I neglected my art. I'm still an active member of the Federation Of Canadian Artists - but I've not painted anything for so very long. To become an active member, I had to have some of my paintings juried and accepted. When I was accepted it was a huge thrill. Then I got sidetracked.
Why, it was only recently I undertook to re-organize my art supplies and realized I'd not touched my watercolors for an entire year! How the time slips away.
I like to paint when an image 'grabs me in the gut' - nothings done that for a while. Then, I saw an image posted on my friend Cicero's blog and I begged for permission to paint it.
I did it digitally, entirely in ArtRage and using a Wacom graphics tablet. It took me two days (because I was inspired - some paintings take me years) I did it with a limited color pallette, on a single layer, with mostly a single sized brush. I only used a small brush to add the fine details at the end.
I'm feeling fulfilled - art is in my blood!
