Still having fun with the Mingus Mountains to the east. I have so many ideas, collage, layering, textures. But I need some wood panels. Think that would be better than paper or canvas. I wouldn’t have to be so delicate. Played with the shapes on this. I tilted the lines, and I like it. Lined with pencil.

Each time I look to the mountains they are new. Partly cloudy day makes for constant changes in the view. Today the field in front turned a perfect platinum blonde. (Photos taken on the 21st.)

Can’t wait to get home and LOOK AT ALL YOUR GREAT ART!

Whew! Got lucky again. Started by sprinkling clean water on the paper. First the head, and then the petals. I see some things I would like to improve. This is more linear than loose, but I really had fun working on it!

Ok, you are going to kill me, but this song popped into my head while I was painting. Sunshine Day by that classic band, The Brady Bunch. I had to listen or go crazy. If you dare, just be sure to stop it before Bobby goes into sexy mode. I mean really, whose idea was it for kids to act sexy?? Totally dating myself, but what the heck if you get a kick out of it.

Enjoy!

Feeling warm yet? The day I painted this it was grey and chilly. Warmed me right up. I am having too much fun with the Mingus mountains.  I am going to take a drive next month and see what I can see!

Guess I could have added some clouds. But hey, just means I get to paint another one! I darkened the pencil line after the paint dried. I think it is just enough. I have to find that pen! Nope, it wasn’t in my purse.

Hope you are having an awesome weekend!
