Country Road


Sorry about the long break... major house renovations were underway here this Fall. Anyway, to make a long story short, not a lot of painting was getting done over the past three months (but I do have lovely new floors and a kitchen to show for it!). However I am back at it again, with no more excuses.

I was doing some experimenting this week. I really enjoy line as a component to paintings. It is something I would like to incorporate more into my work. Colour, shape, light and line - my favourite elements. I am not in love with this one, I still think I could push the values more. I was experimenting with acrylic paint in a more transparent way (using Golden acrylic glazing liquid). It was fun, though a little out of my comfort zone (isn't that the way it should be?).
