'Two's Company...'

I came down with a bout of 'Icantpaintitus' recently - I
think it started when I murdered one painting and another committed
suicide! I mean - how insulting! I didn't think it was bad at all, but
that darned Rubber Ducky threw itself right off the shelf! Chuh!
Anyway,
it turns out that the only cure for 'Icantpaintitus' - is to paint - so
I did - and I think I am much better now thank you... And better still,
this Marble study has inspired me to go LARGE and do another, more
complex marble painting. It's great to have something large to get my teeth in to
again between smaller works :0)
Sandra, this is fabulous! Have you ever painted marbles before or have I imagined that? I'll look forward to seeing a larger version - I really love this piece. Have you thought about selling on artfinder or artgallery.co.uk - I think both are pretty good platforms and you should definitely get your work out there more!
ReplyDeleteYou have a good memory! I Painted one a very long time ago in Acrylics! But I'd like to do a whole series of marbles in oils. In fact, I have one 18" x 22" marble painting on the go as we speak... but I want to do a few small ones too. I love painting them!
DeleteNo I haven't looked in to Artfinder yet... It's on my to do list! No idea what it's all about! :0)
Nice job, I love marbles, well I love glass and the look of it, but I don't paint so I will just admire your painting.
ReplyDeleteAh, but have you tried Kathleen? You never know, you might uncover your inner Van Gogh!! Thanks so much for commenting. I'm so glad you like them! :0)
DeleteHow have I missed three posts!!!!! And so much happened too... Paintings jumping off shelves... Fish multiplying and someone dropped marbles all over a a canvas!!! Must be the decorating messing with things over at your place... Love the paintings though and I would say you are completely ov your bout of icantpaintitis
ReplyDeleteThanks Tracey! Yes, I think so too - I have fallen in love with marbles so I think I will do lots more - a series maybe! I feel inspired! :0)
DeleteFantastic! A beautiful painting...I need to see more of these Sandra!
ReplyDeleteThanks Hilda! And you will for sure! I found a new love in Marbles! ;0)
DeleteEncore une merveilleuse peinture, chère Sandra !
ReplyDeleteJ'adore également la série des petits poissons.
Bon dimanche :)
Merci beaucoup Olivier! Je suis heureux que vous les aimez: 0)
DeleteHappy to know that you have overcome your attack of "icantpaintthis" :) These marbles are so simple and beautiful ... delightful! Looking forward to the more complex works. Thank you for your great compliment on the farrier/horse painting!!
