What if...
What if I mixed gel medium with acrylic paint(s) and applied it to the canvas with the back of a plastic spoon...flowers perhaps? This will require more experimentation.

I should be inside painting...
Even though it’s cold and cloudy today, I prefer walking around Wildflower Lake to doing laps on an indoor track! In my defense, while walking around the lake, I was thinking about what more I could do on the painting sitting on my easel

Where Has the Time Gone?!
I just realized that it's been months since I posted. It's been a hectic time for me. I moved from sunny Florida to cold, cold Illinois. I'm finally settled in and beginning to create art once again.
I decided to paint over a painting that I had done years ago. I often do this because I like the texture it creates below a new artwork's surface.
What comes next you may ask - the same question I asked myself. To be continued...

"Les trois derrière”
My daughter and I had a fantastic time on vacation in Quebec City and Montreal. We laughed a lot, ate a lot, climbed a zillion staircases, and slept a lot. We both enjoyed keeping track of our daily activities in the travel journals I made for us.
Inspiration is everywhere. I took many photographs, of course. The weather was perfect for outside dining. We took full advantage of that in both cities' many cafes and restaurants.

Solitude...
Lightning, thunder, rain, and gloomy skies today. Perfect time to work in the studio and finish a painting I started yesterday.
Finished work - oils on 20x20 gallery-wrapped canvas
