Today I decided to remove the very large tree that was centrally placed. Now I feel you can really breathe. I like open spaces. I will probably revise it one more time.

So Today I just blocked in the lights and darks. I tried to not get caught up with any details and to focus on blocks of color and composition. The canvas was wet ...this is a great opportunity to wipe away the lights and keep it fresh. It was a whirwinded day and the movement of this painting reflects this.MG

In this piece I am softening the edges and creating a dreamy atmosphere. I love adding flares of light that seem misplaced.

At this point I am starting to think about contrast in color, value and edges.
Bright colors against dull colors, light against dark, dull edges against sharp.
Lets see what tomorrow will bring.

"I Shut my eyes in order to see"... Gauguin.
I love this Quote by Gauguin who was a post impressionist painter Eugène Henri Paul Gauguinborn in 1848. He was a bold experimeter of color. Many of his works were done in Tahiti. He was a friend of Vincent Van Gogh.
The more I shut my eyes and listen to my still voice the more I realize that I have the answers to so many of my daily questions. The solution does not lie somewhere else.-MGRead More
