It was a good Christmas. I thought of all my pieces that were given as gifts this year: there were some pet portraits, a home portrait, 2 more doors, some horse paintings, and my cello player. I hope all the recipients were surprised and thrilled with their pieces! I've heard from a few, and they were really happy.
I've started up a Facebook page with ALL my work, divided into separate albums:
Landscapes, Pets/ Animals, Sold, Artist's Collection, & Other Beautiful Things.
Once things got back to normal, I got back to painting. My latest are a couple of pieces of wolves - they are so misunderstood. I love them. And I did a larger piece of my back woods, with light shining through the trees and casting a neat pattern of shadows.
I've been reading a lot of Robert Genn - got his book, a great read - getting inspiration on various aspects of the creative process. One suggestion he had was to just start painting when you have a block on what to do next, not to think about what your subject is - that it will just happen. I think I'll try it - but I need to know if it's a landscape, a pet portrait, horses etc... This could be interesting!
