A little bit of an update on what I have been working on. My YOP (year of painting) for November was fun. I loved the photo that we used and I cropped it a lot. I love reflections and autumn so had fun with this. My steps were to first crop it on the computer here
Then I sketched out on plastic where I thought the darks should be
And finally I just had a blast using autumnal colors, trying to create reflections and doing the canoes.
I probably could have cropped it more and will definitely try this painting again maybe crop it differently.
I also have been working on another exchange of Christmas cards and finished it after trying twice, not liking the first one shown below Just didn't turn out like I had in my mind so did another one that is totally different than this one. Have finished it but won't post until I send and the person receives it.
So now want to start on another card to send to a few select folks. One thing about doing some of these paintings is I at least even with all the hustle and bustle find time to paint just a little almost every day. This is a good thing. Need to do it more.
