No paintings Sunday

Be back at my easel on Monday morning, have a couple of new ideas. I have gotten on to this idea of "pink" in the paintings. Ever since doing the pink cup! That was fun.There is a beautiful pink rose in the garden I may paint that. Perhaps berries would be nice too.

SUSAN JENKINS MORNING PAINTINGS

My favorite time to paint is in the morning. When it is quiet, the birds are chirping and I have had my coffee. Sun shine is a plus. My studio is out side so I have a few steps from my house to get to it. I have everything set up so I am ready to go.

Recently I have been looking at very small paintings on web sites and blogs. I love them. They are called daily paintings.I have always been a studio painter and always painted large paintings. I paint every day, but I have concentrated on these large works. I think there is something very intimate in these very small works.

Taking morning walks, I find beautiful wild flowers. I live by the ocean and there is this wonderful board walk with wild flowers growing along the path. I love to put them in different vases incorporating them with the flowers I have growing in my garden.

Now painting the smaller paintings it has become fun! The largest is 9x12. I am working my way to a smaller size! In the mean time I am posting my newest works here.
