There's a photo realism piece
I'd like to get started on this week.
I'm all prepped for it and am ready to go.
You could say the plane is on the runway
and ready for take off.
It's just waiting for clearance
from the tower (me).
I haven't done one since high school,
and am finding myself procrastinating.
Why do I do this to myself?
Who cares if it doesn't turn out?
I can just paint over it and
start again.
While I'm in my self imposed
"holding pattern," I decided
to paint some simple light
hearted folk art pieces.
Now that I'm reflecting on
these folk art pieces, they may
actually be harder than the
photo realism piece I'm planning.
It's hard for me to paint freely.
Photo realism isn't free.
Hmmm. . .
I finished up another
sugar skull.
That's 2 down and 2 to go
on that project.
I only did one coat of
the blue because I
like a little of
the black showing through.
It's gives it a more rustic feel.
I thought I'd share some pictures
from our weekend adventure.
My husband and I live a short distance from
the Superstition Mountains and Wilderness
which is part of the Tonto National Forest in Arizona.
It's such a beautiful place to explore.
The only wildlife we saw this time
were some turkey vultures and
a beautiful herd of black cows
(all wearing their fuzzy winter coats).
I wanted to take a picture of them until
we saw the bull, and then we decided to
zip on out of there.
Hope you're having a wonderful week!
Thanks for visiting.
