Stargazers


I painted today, but I wasn't really happy with it, so I decided to show you one of my gallery works. I'll paint again tomorrow and with any luck I'll have something to show you. I still haven't gotten my groove back yet and to further complicate that process on Thursday we are going to Dallas to see the grandbaby!!! (and her parents). We'll be coming back next Tuesday. I won't be painting or posting that whole time, but I plan on taking a sketch book and doing a little drawing to keep my hand in at least a little.

STUDIO UPDATE


The exterior is finished. The electrician will start on Thursday (maybe). And then next week I'll be starting inside with the insulating, dry walling and (gulp) taping and floating. Fun, fun, fun. The pressure treated wood needs to cure before I can paint the exterior, so I anticipate painting the outside next spring so it will match my house.

MY HOUSE


But with the magic of photoshop I can give you a preview of how it will look when I do paint it.


Won't it be cute? I love my little studio.

Oh, and I LOVE the way you painted those Stargazer Lilies. (I didn't realize this was all one post.) Beautiful swirling petals!! Gorgeous!

The stargazer lilies painting is so joyful! I like your treatment of the negative space, too.
Your house and studio are very cute! Is there a sink/kitchen or bathroom setup in the studio?
