dreaming of fun in the sun
It's funny how being hunkered down in my studio during wintery weather leads me to dreaming of fun in the sun. Last week I gave the watercolours a workout creating little miniature's on the theme of beach huts. (I love 'dem little cutie-pies!) It was a fun change up from big florals and bike path paintings and helped get me dreaming of holidays and carefree days during the process.
It's a diversion switching mediums. Oil painting has allowed me a 'painterly freedom' that I was missing when I used to paint exclusively in watercolours. That freedom stayed with me while painting these.
Love these and they do the trick. Escape the cold and snow! You do beautiful work in every medium, and you know you've won the Barbara Muir Happy Art Award. Check it out on my blog. ;-) Your art makes me happy every time I see it.
