Time to Catch Up

I'm hoping to slip a few more pictures of my progress up whilst I have a window of internet connectivity. Still no new tower hook up yet but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

So far so good, I managed to upload these two images I worked on in May during my workshop with Wyanne in her online Paint Free workshop. This is a workshop that is certainly worth checking out and very affordable.

For me it's worked great because Wyanne works with how to find your creative self again and not technique or working within any boundaries or rules. It's all about finding that wild inner creative self through rediscovering your love of painting like we had when we were kids and to be able to paint mindlessly and with love.  So here are my last two pieces I did with that particular workshop.

I never know what I am going to paint before I start. This one is painted over another painting I had started on tar paper that I didn't like. I saved the child's face and that was all, everything else evolved from images and feelings I saw or had during the process. This process involved concentrating on feeling love whilst I painted and remembering to enjoy the feeling of the paint on the paper as I made the brush strokes....and everything just kind of emerged on it's own.

This painting I did on canvas, again concentrating on love and happiness as I painted.  This painting emerged from a thirty-second scribble drawing where I saw a face that I started fleshing out. The feathers  emerged from some wild brush strokes and the face at the bottom was a ghostly image that I filled out...and that's pretty much how everything happened.  I'm not working from any reference up to this point but doing everything from out of my head/heart.
