Another painting on the love theme, a possible candidate for, “LOVE SAYINGS: wit & wisdom of romance, courtship, and marriage”. There are about six to eight layers of paint on this. All the detail, and the heart wrap around the sides. There is bronze paint running through the heart, it never scans well. You can see it better in the photo below.

Bronze metallic paint catches the light.

I am thinking I need to add the word “Love” or “Joy” in the bottom left hand corner. I’d love to hear your opinion.

Happy day to you, and happy painting! Be sure to check out todays galley here.

This is a do over. Good practice though. I did The main trees and foreground with a palette knife. I don’t have much practice in with that. The distant tree trunks were with the knife as well, and then I brushed on the branches. My strokes are clumpy and heavy.

I started this just before 11 pm, and by 11:30 I was done. So Just under the wire. I intended to paint a flower, but the blank, bright yellow canvas was a little intimidating. It was so pretty just plain! This idea popped into my head, and I started by adding some bronze metallic paint with my fingers. I did the large trunks first.

I will paint over it and try again. I do like it. But I will try to do better.

This is on its way to Colorado. My cousin told me it reminds her of a story she loves. I am a book lover too, so I could not resist gifting it to her.

I am stunned. Don’t get me wrong. That is not conceit. It is pure… well I’ll let Gomer say it.

This is really good.

Some of the detail is lost in the low res image, so here are some close-ups for you.

If you are on Pinterest, take a look at my fabulous art “collection”. At fifteen days, I already have over 200 pins showcasing artists who are participating in Leslie’s painting challenge. If I won the lottery tomorrow, my walls would be covered with these works of art.

You can take a look at Leslie’s daily offering here, as well as the gallery for the day. Thanks so much for visiting my blog, it’s always nice to hear from you!

If I could be,
under the sea,
I would float aloft the current
in the wonder of the dream.
Cool, calm, deep true dark.
I would travel the world,
to the oceans heart.

Heart of the ocean,
cobalt commotion,
share your secrets tonight.
Deep true dark,
oh I will never part.
In your embrace I glide.
