I actually like this painting. Maybe because I like rainy nights at the studio? Inspired by the loose line of Bonnard and the flatness of Marsden Hartley. (Is flatness even a word? Someone help me out)
Some more Virginia peaches 🍑🍑🍑 I was super inspired by a Jean-Baptiste-Siméon Chardin print that I bought at the yard-sale crawl in Virginia. Sometimes I just want to paint something simple.
In honor of this rainy day I am so excited to share my painting of a stormy day on top of Shenandoah Mountain! My rain paintings represent the emotional seasons of my life. The past couple of months I’ve been seeking safety and comfort. I find that comfort so much in stormy weather. The stone wall and the tall grass acts as blockage from my own complete freedom in surrender. Like a storm cloud I need to let go and release all that is keeping me heavy, and dark. But I know once I let go I will be free to become a light whispy cloud that floats with any direction of the wind. I know, I know, I know.
I’m going back to the basics in painting because I will be teaching an Intro to Painting: In acrylics, a 6 week course at @eclipsec3 . The link is in my bio and also in Eclipse C3 bio.
Another detail shot for a painting I’m so excited to post (if I ever finish it). It’s come to my attention that people think I have great natural studio light and I am here to debunk… I do not. The rumors aren’t true. My studio is facing the backyards of hilly Manayunk homes and I only have deflected light from the homes. Any and all advice for photographing work using artificial light is welcomed in the comments below or through DM. Thx.
Life is unpredictable so I’m throwing my own party! Sunday September 19th.
