November 25th-Golden Village II

Something about this painting has opened up a whole new path for me. If you've been reading the blog, this style might already look familiar to you. I actually started this piece before other ones you've seen just like it, but it took me longer because the layout did not have a drawing beforehand. I spent a lot of time with this one. Not just painting it, but putting it on my living room mantle and studying it to figure what else it needed. It feels finished now.

November 18th-Twilight Treehouse

I started this painting about four months ago. After creating the background layers, I must have lost momentum, because I put the piece off to the side, not sure what else to do with it.
I didn't want to paint over what I started, as I liked my treehouse idea and the possibilities of where it could go. As time when time and I worked on other things, I became inspired again and had a better understanding of where to take it. I added the trees in the front to give it a more foresty feel. More treehouses to come!

November 11th-What About The Cooler?

 This was just meant to be totally silly. This VW Buses were really popular beach mobiles where I grew up. It was so awful to make the long trek down to beach only to realize you forgot something like the cooler!

November 4th-Twilight Village

This painting measures in its entirety 5x5, so you can imagine what a small scale piece this is! I finished this painting in one day, which for me was a big accomplishment. As you may know I have spent a big part of the year toiling over minute details in pieces. I've had a hard time letting go at times and saying I was "finished".
For me to be satisfied so quickly this time makes me feel like progress is being made. I'm getting better at my craft but I'm also getting better at enjoying where I'm at on the journey.
