Struggled with these abstracts in the beginning. In fact I posted a couple of them. They were not feeling right to me. So I painted over them with a warm sand color. That made all the difference.

The next session went more smoothly.  I had five pieces that I was happy with. Only minor tweaks and adjustments needed, if any. This was the first one I completed, and I was happy with it.  I still feel it is one of the best. The success of this canvas helped me work through the problem solving on the others. I actually put my hands in the air and did a little happy dance.

    This piece is fascinating Sheila. I see so many images in it , I could study it for ages. I am glad you are happy with these – a great learning experience for you. One more day then we can rest for a bit.

      Thank you Val, so nice to hear 🙂 This was a very good month for me, and for you as well! I am in awe of the amazing art Leslie facilitated! A rest does sound good doesn’t it. But more from the blogging than the painting.

    Sheila, what an awesome 29 (and counting) days you’ve had. Your explorations in abstract have a lot of impact. When I look at Dreaming of Sand and Chili, I can feel paint and palette knife in hand. Sweet!
