finished Drawings - hand study #1

2.8.19

Today was a beautiful day for coloring in the garden (Garfield park conservatory)

inspired by Katie Sahm

Some friends and I were at Neidhammer coffee and saw some great artwork by Katie Sahm. I was inspired to try her string art.

Mine is no where near as cool as her art.  It was very challenging to get the string to stay still. But I had fun trying something new.

GPAC 1.2.19 part 2

Ta-daah! I told you that I was working on it. This is the second painting inspired by my winter break trip to Garfield Park Conservatory, Indianapolis. Thank you, I think it turned out rather well. As always if you see it on the blog, you get first dibs before I try to sell it on Etsy.

Drop me a note via email about what you are working on.

So this is what I got finished this weekend. Yes I am also working on that second painting. Snail may be my pace for paintings.

GPAC 1.2.19

First painting of the year~! Happy 2019 everyone. 

 

Reference photo & final painting. 5x7 acrylic.
I love using Garfield Park Conservatory as my personal studio. I started this one while on Christmas Break. I like how it turned out. The background was painted last year with the basic sandstone colors often seen in this sunny garden. The winter sun in the picture is obviously a little different.

A second 5x7 from another reference photo should be in the works later this week. Stop by & see me here again soon.
