This one was pure play with my Oil Pastels.  Do you ever want to just see "what would happen if...?" That's what I was doing here.  And full disclosure, this was one of my paint-ahead paintings!

My friend who is new to blogging is having trouble posting to Blogger using her iPhone and/or iPad.  Anyone able to shed any light for me to pass on to her?   The comment section would work or if you prefer to write me privately, here's how to reach me.  Thanks for your help.

  

And thanks for watching...

"Impression: Winter" Acrylic Palette Knife Painting

I wasn't planning on blogging tonight, because I have a headache, but my poor mother has been marooned for weeks in her home in the Northeast and is bored to tears, so I had to post a painting for  her.  However, I am afraid this painting isn't going to be much help chasing the winter blues away!

I couldn't resist painting my reaction to winter as opposed to a view of an actual winter scene.  As with the last post, this painting was created with no reference, just my emotion to guide me!  Brrrrrr.....!

My mantra these days seems to be "all is calm, all is bright," and I hope the same for all of you.

Thanks for looking!
