PINKS

Watercolour & Pastel on paper
17cm W x 25cm H

What a day! Certainly was not in the mood to draw, paint or anything, but finally I decided that I MUST do a piece & keep up the project. I did this one this evening so it is late going onto the site - sorry for anyone tuning in & missing it - but it is finally here. I was bought some wonderful Pinks yesterday & thought I should draw them - or a couple anyway.

Primary Freefall

No inspiration here, it was just an idea that popped into my head whilst I was eating my scrambled egg, about 1 minute before I started my mornings painting. Col took photos of me in strange falling positions whilst I balanced myself on the giant footstool. I would have painted the background more thickly with the acrylic paint but knew it would take too long to dry before I needed to place the freefalling people! Anyway, I quite like the idea of it and may transfer this to a large canvas at some point.

Excitement and Joy

Ok, well, today's painting is rather different in that it is very abstract. Inspiration this morning? I think it was because when I woke up & got up I felt quite happy and excited - about what? I do not know. When I am in this mood I usually see colours differently to normal and everything is bright and glowing!

The painting is an explosion (like a firework, I suppose) of excitement & the joy that comes after.

With this project there is no forward planning and I have a set time of 1 hour max to do each piece. The planning begins when the time begins.

I'm loving it.
