Tonight was my painting night and I made a lot of progress. In fact, I painted so long I hardly have time to post before bedtime!
I worked on this painting:
This background was created while ice painting back in February. I recently saw another artist’s piece doing a white egret on a red-orange background and was inspired.
The image on the left is the egret done in guache (rhymes with squash). The image on the right is acrylic (with a few other tweaks).
I think it’s coming along.
I took the texturing off the abstract I started last week, and I’m pleased. It reminds me of the ocean. I think I’m going to do a piece inspired by my whale watching tour a year ago, but I’m not sure how to get that specific with an abstract!
I also worked on the second of my “Trackside Discussion” series. I’d like to take this up to Equine Art in July, but I’m not sure it will be ready.
I did a few strokes on several other paintings, but nothing too exciting.
