Welcoming 2014 with Sunshine!

Wait...Sunshine? I guess you think I've lost my mind with all of the snow, ice, and power outages we've had here in the past couple of weeks. Nope.....

My first painting of 2014 is of course the unfinished sunflower from my last post of 2013. Well, I finished it today with about 5 minutes to spare before I had to start packing up paintings for an exhibit I'm participating in. No pressure!

So since the painting is so bright, I thought I'd name it Sunshine. Perhaps it is a bit of wishful thinking too that we might get some sunshine if I wish hard enough.

So here is Sunshine....gone off to brighten up others at the Exhibition space. More details to some on that tomorrow.....

Last Painting of 2013?

Maybe, maybe not...it might be the last painting of 2013 but gets finished in 2014...it all depends on how much time I have to myself in the next few days.

But the sun came out here today for a little while (in between snowstorms..another scheduled for tomorrow), so I put a nice sunny painting back up on the large easel.


I don't have much done except basecoating in the major shapes yet....But it is certainly a nice bright change from snow, more snow and freezing cold temps!

May have a snow day yet tomorrow from work....so we'll see if any painting gets done then.

This painting is one of the few flowers that I didn't take the photograph of....thanks to my Aunt Michele's friend Shannon who entered this unique view of a sunflower into one of my contests and was kind enough to give me permission to paint it.

Keep checking back to see the progress on this painting. I'll probably need some help naming it as well! Hint hint!
