Another possible submission for the Visual Aids 17th ANNUAL POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE event. I was stumped on this one. Sort of thought about a stand of trees, but I think the lines are too close together for that.

I am happy with the result, but I have already started on the next postcard. This show will be packed with postcards. I really want something that will stand out in the crowd.

 

 

 

Hope you are enjoying a fabulous weekend!

November Showers

We have had a bit of rain here in Southern California. My tail is waggin’. Oh may we be blessed by a long and wet winter! It has rained during the night, so I have not actually seen the rain. Kind of a bummer, but I am enjoying the cloudy days. The changing light, the cool temperature.

Day 13 – Leslie Saeta’s 30 Paintings In 30 Days

8 Replies

This is a quick one, as I am on my way to meet a friend. Pauline Agnew’s Open Studio has started, and I am always so inspired by her. She asked us to take a look at her Pinterest landscapes board and choose one that spoke to us. The one I found… made me want to play with color too.

Here is my painting for day 13. Watercolor and gouache on Yupo. Took less than 10 minutes.

Don’t you just love how the green is pulled towards the blue? I took a quick photo of that, I was afraid it would dry differently. This is saved at 72 dpi, so I apologize, some of the fine detail is lost,

The painting below was my inspiration. Completely different look and feel, due to the difference in mediums. I was not trying to copy… I just had to play with the blue. The blue is gouache, and the green is watercolor, and that may be why this happened. I am going to play some more with these two colors.

landscape-72Beautiful, no? I love the small bit of light, and there is a bit of turquoise in the sky at that point in the horizon, but it is not showing here. The link for this does not credit the artist, has only – Chicago contemporary artists, photo by Kathleen Patrick 2010(Flickr).

Hope you are having a super weekend. It is a HOT one here. If you love to look at art as much as I do, be sure and check out Pauline’s board… she has a lot of great boards. And take a look at today’s creations here.
