Sunset Nectarines
10" X 8"
Acrylic on Canvas
Already, I’m feeling the pressure as we begin to frame
pieces for the show. This piece is evidence of that; it’s framed already!
Over last week’s long weekend, I had a glorious day of
painting, painting, and more painting. I touched-up and varnished one piece and
then started and completed this painting. It’s not often that I get an extended
block of painting time like that. These luscious
nectarines had been taunting me for a few days, rich and ripe and screaming
with brilliant sunset corals, reds, and oranges. I just had to paint them.
This was a “flow” painting. All the art forces are in
perfect alignment, and the painting just magically pours out of me somehow
while I loll in color and texture. Ahhh. These kinds of paintings feel so good--especially after I’ve struggled with a piece.
On another note, I’m making prints and note cards in
preparation for the show. I’m printing with archival inks on fine art paper and
so far, they are looking good. Let me know if there are paintings you are
especially fond of to help me decide which to print. I’ll be making prints in 5
x 7, 8 x 10, 9 x 12, and 16 x 20. If there is something specific you want, just
send me an email.
Until next time…
