My favorite time to paint is early in the morning. When it is quiet and I have had my coffee.My studio is outside so I have a few steps from my house to get to it. I think there is something very intimate in the smaller works having always painted quite large. Painting usually everyday and always in the morning I have chosen the title Morning Paintings.

Wine Bottle painting for the Wine Festival
Yesterday we met at the Chambers Gallery to paint wine bottles for the Art and Wine Fesival next weekend on the 28th. Vicki,Gayle,Maggie and me! What fun!! We worked all day and I had painted 3! Good Grief! I had plans to paint more so I will be painting a few more this week. Vicki painted some lovely seascape ones but took them home so today when I photographed they weren't there. This last one is a fun one of Gayles, very abstract and Maggie's also in there, that tall abstract one they are beautiful. I love the colors in these. Mine are the crows and grapes. We will have them all around the gallery for sale the weekend of the festival! Something fun!
Lynn, we missed you!!!!

hi...lovely paintings...what kind of paint do u use
ReplyDeleteThank you! the paint on the bottles is acrylic and the paint I use for my art work is oil.
ReplyDeleteThey are beautiful. What paint did you use?
ReplyDeleteHi, my name is Nina and I love your work, especially the bottles! I am also an artist and I decoupage bottles as gifts for people. I would love to try painting them as well after seeing the beautiful work you have done. Do you mind me asking how you make the "drip" effect? I love that look. Thank you!
ReplyDeleteHi Nina, My girl fiend di the drippy ones. If I remember she loaded her brush and just held it to the bottle and it dripped.( use more water) She also painted a drippy effect. Glad you like them, they were alot of fun.
