My Great Big Painting

-
(Click on picture to see bigger.)
I'm painting a great big acrylic on canvas at the moment. It's been so dark here that I've only been able to paint in the mornings and I took this photo just now to show you the work-in-progress. It's nearly finished, although I could probably fiddle with it for years! Sometimes you just need to stop and let it be.

I need to take my own advice! ;)

Lovely colours Jessie and it works so beautifully on a large canvas. I find it hard not to continue working on something I have created as well, love your words "Just let it be."

Have a beautiful day. xxx

how lovely~
so fun to see you doing a different style. It is so interesting to find that art can be fiddled with over and over and it is up to the artist as to when it is complete.

More Cottages During Lockdown and a Change in Medium.

I've been thinking about why I'm drawing cottages lately.  Maybe it's because there aren't many people around where we live and on our daily walks we rarely come across anyone else which I suppose is a good thing as we're still in Lockdown and have to practice Social Distancing which has now become a very well used phrase in our language! Maybe it's this lack of seeing people around that my mind is turning towards houses and flowers? The ones above are done in ink. I love the pearlescent inks, they're so beautiful when they catch the light. The paintings above and below are painted in acrylic. I've been obsessed with watercolour for a few weeks but I felt I'd like to get some acrylics out again.

This is my final medium and then finding myself being drawn to changing once again to a different way of wor...
