I have two absolute favorite activities and one of them is having painting time while in my art space and yesterday was my painting day. It began with a plan to paint a large painting that I imagine could potentially hang in my Florida home foyer. I decided to heed the advice of every watercolor artist I've ever followed and "warm up" using a Pinterest inspiration to get into the moment. This post is the result of my warm up!
In the style of Peter Sheeler, after I was done painting, I added the sketching, which really completed the piece I think. I was so immersed in this little 5x7 exercise! Because I was "warming up," painting the boulders and rocks was more of an experiment for me and I'm glad I pushed myself to try them. The purple "mountain" reminds me of the Pacific west coast and not necessarily my Florida east coast, but it was a "warm up" and I'm okay with it. I will re-paint this in another session in a larger format and tweak the scene to bring it over to the Florida coast!
Meanwhile, I did begin the intended foyer painting, but it's far from finished.
And what is my second favorite activity? Reading, which is what I did after my day of painting!
Thanks for stopping by!
