i should be doing a dozen things, but i just have to follow my inner voice, "my truth" and play...i have a stack of blank canvases and i just cant stop coloring them with paint!
i didnt video the process but as i started working i tried to stop and photograph the process. i did miss the early stages but you can kinda get the gist!
did i mention i am in my HAPPY PLACE!!
paint your truth on a canvas this weekend just because you can!!!
Gah! Gorgeous, yet again! I can't wait to get home so I can get my PAINT ON! My package of goodies arrives today, so I'll have some yummy new paints to play with. MAJOR happy place. Thanks for sharing your process pics, Donna! I love seeing the painting unfold.

Fabulous! Thanks for sharing these. I have been racking my brain trying to figure out what I could do on 3 matching canvases for my dining room. Huge wall 10ft ceilings. These give me enough inspiration to "semi" match the canvases to the paintings I already have in the living area. I knew I wanted to play off the geometric shapes but not exactly and I didn't want them to be super detailed. Thanks for giving me a starting point! Hope to see you again in class sometime. Still think your Oklahoma classes were wonderful! Off to buy my canvases :0)

Donna, I am a new, and totally addicted fan of yours. I am doing the Canvas create for the year. Totally excited. Just followed your suggestion to look at Flora Bowley - enchanted! Totally jealous you got to take her workshop. So fun to watch you paint. Thanks for sharing!!

Fabulous paintings. So many bright colours. I always use canvas sheets for good results and that makes my painting effect very effective.

You are encouraging me to get out my toys and play. I love the way your vibrant pink - quinicridone magenta - flower/leaves jump out of the canvas in 3d. Beautiful.

Had to laugh at how you started this one, Donna.
From an insider LOL--Carol, who is looking forward to April in Port St. Lucie and thinking about Dina in June.
