BLIZZARD DAYS ARE GOOD DAYS !

3/3/2013

YES -  A cold blizzard day in Southern Alberta ! Need to keep warm !   What better things to do than start to make a couple of apple pies at 10am,  then brown some wings at noon for an appetizer dinner in the evening.  Clean up the mess of dishes and pans  -  you all know I am a ``Kitchen Gal ! ``.   Love it !!   Could be in there all day long -  except for when I am painting on canvas, of course  !!   Which  -   by the way,  I started at 2pm.

Started applying impasto & colors.  In my own little area of solitude.  The colors & movement went well.  Feeling joy,, anxious to continue with more.  
But I did stop and rush upstairs to make the dinner that I had started earlier in the day. . Dinner was amazing - 2 flavours of wings, a big ceasar salad with other veggies and dip on the side.  Two  great wines - a Pinot Noir and a Green Apple Risling  paired well with the meal.   I like reds and Ron likes whites. There is  still plenty left in each bottle !! The pie topped it all off !!   Now we both will need to take it easy on the food  tomorrow as we are really full tonight !!

9pm now and I am still running down to look at my painting as it dries - deciding if I will add more color or not.  Carefully scanning the whole canvas to see what I really want on it.  Its almost dry - looks good but I will sleep on it tonight and when I next look at it - I will decide if it is done or needs a little more added to it  

This is the beauty of paint and canvas..  Add,  Take Away, Change,  whatever we feel at the moment !!  .   .  .

    I am an artist. I have taken numerous classes and workshops since 2004 as shown under About in my CV. I work out of  my home. When painting on canvas, I often loose track of all time. I am alone and quiet, peaceful and excited, ambitious and energetic.  I am in place between body and mind - my hands doing something that my mind makes them do and ultimately - another painting !

    I love what I am able to do and
    I look forward to you following me on this journey !

    Initially my plan will be to post a few times a week and change as time permits.
