I'm finally getting around to painting from some reference photos that were so kindly sent to me from fellow blogger/artists (in fact I still have a couple more in the works -- so thank you and stay tuned!) The oranges in the first image had such dramatic lighting I absolutely couldn't resist. Thank you Cynthia Schelzig! Cynthia makes cards, binds books, draws, paints -- you name it, she does it. I wish she lived closer so we could do art together and she could teach me how to make books. She is very talented and has a totally inspiring blog called Gallery 46 -- you should definitely check it out.
"Sunlit Lemons" is from the Paint And Draw Together blog -- I have a few reference photos from past PADT posts that I'm hoping to get to soon, and "Bowl of Limes" is a photo I took a few years ago. I'm loving this aquabord -- it can be challenging though . . . but I'm having fun. And isn't that what this is all about!? So stay tuned as I finish these up and get more going . . . I have so many paintings in my head (and on my computer) that there just isn't enough time!
