"Lotus" was inspired by a photograph I took at the Yaddo Artists Retreat in Saratoga Springs, NY. This photo didn't capture the details of the original painting.  The originals are much more beautiful in person as a general rule.

Today's Quotation: "We artists are indestructible; even in a prison, or in a concentration camp, I would be almighty in my own world of art, even if I had to paint my pictures with my wet tongue on the dusty floor of my cell."

Even though sunflowers reach their glory in late summer, early autumn is my favorite time for sunflowers. It's when they begin to bow their heads, lose their petals, and take on so many moods. They are equally interesting to me when they are petal bare....hhmm....that might be one of my soon to be created paintings....

Here we are again at the beginning of the most beautiful season of the year in the Northeastern US. This is the time of year where I can find apples with their leaves still attached from local orchards.....a happy moment for me.

I'll be focusing more on painting outdoors when the weather is cooperative and my painting buddy, Debbie is available. We've gone on two excursions thus far. Much to my disappointment, I didn't finish either painting and need to finish them up in the studio.

"Magical Angel" was painted several years ago. It was created intuitively/spontaneously from my imagination. I wasn't sure what I was going to paint. I began painting the black oval shape which is now the angel's face and the painting went from there, developing into the figure with wings...so I had this painting with a black oval face just sitting there for quite some time without a defined face. One day, feeling brave enough and determined to finish it, I took a deep breath and once again, cleared my mind as best as I could and let my intuition just take over, one stroke at a time. I am happy with the result.

I loved painting this piece. The fabric is so colorful and energizing. I've painted another large lemon painting with this fabric design and will post it next time...

I often wonder whether the general public thinks that artists really know what they are doing with certainty while painting. I certainly don't! All the while I was painting this piece thoughts were going through my mind like: "Oh, this is awful." "Oh, what am I doing...I really messed it up!" "Oh, this part is more difficult than I anticipated." and on and on and on...It's not always like this but for some reason it was with this painting. I truly love how it turned out though...much better than I anticipated...

Today's Quotation: "Oil paint is sensuous and I find it highly seductive. Like life."
