I've never been very good at being 'between' paintings.
Over time, I have realised that anything more than a short absence from my studio, can actually leave me feeling quite frustrated and even anxious!
Now that we have finished decorating the hallway, I'm relieved to finally get back behind the easel! And first to take the stand is a commission and I'm really looking forward to getting stuck in!
It's quite complex piece but I do love a challenge! And this time I am painting large ...Well, large for me anyway at 24 x 30 inches.
Anyway, I thought I'd share the first stage with you...
The colours in this will be very 'tropical' when it's complete :0)
Meanwhile I am planning to get another one or two pieces on the go over the next couple of weeks.
So I have plenty going on in my studio!
What's going on in yours?

Deleteoooh, is that going to be a glass full of marbles?? What a wonderful concept and the perfect way to get all those reflections and twinkles that you're so good at!!
ReplyDeleteThanks Nic! Yes it is... And it's set before a tropical plant with bright red flowers! Can't wait to get stuck in to the first layer of colours! :0)
DeleteWhat a unique and creative idea! I am eagerly looking forward to seeing this one develop!
ReplyDeleteThanks Susan...It's at the scary stage right now, so after an hour on it this morning I decided I needed to have some time away from it! Back to it at the weekend! Meanwhile I'm working on a couple of drawings instead :0)
DeleteWOW! this taste has really got me going. looking so forward to seeing it develop! and the heading of your blog is gorgeous! i love the brightness and light of each piece!
ReplyDeleteand thank you my friend for your kind words.
Thanks so much Suz! And I'm glad you noticed the makeover... I thought it was high time for an update! :0)
Deleteoh yes! Glass, glass and flowering plant - this is going to be fab. I'm pulling up a chair to watch ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you Pat!
DeleteIt could be a fiddly one I think... And scary!!!! Mind you, I find ALL commissions scary! :0)
OKAY!!! this is the time I would love to see a demo on how you do this..! A nice little video would be nice! lol
ReplyDeleteThis is going to be fantastic, Sandra. I look forward to seeing the next post. :)
Thanks Hilda! I didn't think of doing a video... I doubt I'd have enough memory on my camcorder to film it, lol! I will do a demo soon though on a smaller painting :0)
