I have had a hard time painting since I have moved. It is a compilation of many things, but again, I have to adjust as well. Placing blame anywhere is not productive, so, I am instead, looking for solutions.
Up 'till now I painted when the whim hit me. Now I am regulating times for this. If I paint longer so be it, but I am not going to paint any less than the time I have prescribed myself.
I got a wonderful book from the library the other day.
It is by Chinese Artist Lian Quan Zhen.
The book covers the art of Chinese water colour techniques for painting flowers!
(ISBN #978-1-60061-088-2(hardcover paper)
Using some of the advise from this book, combined with lessons from a class taught by a friend Kathy, I have begun this:
A Dragonfly on foliage.
It is acrylic on Canvas
16" X 20"
I will post updates as I complete each stage from here on in.
Have a good one all!

Hi Kathleen, I hope you are settling down a bit more. Has it been the move that has put things out of sorts, or is it the fact that you are now officially a Senior Citizen? It took me a while to settle down to the fact that I was now a Senior Citizen. Anyway I see you have started A Dragonfly on Foliage painting. It looks good so far can't wait to see the finished article. So keep at it. Katie.
