1052 Merrily, Merrily, Merrily

 Slowly but surely, and with lots of practice, I am letting loose of old habits and embracing some new techniques for my paintings.  I have always painted what I see, but in this case, the pitcher and cup were white and the vase was mostly dark blue.  I keep thinking of Chicago local artist/mentor and teacher, Steve Puttrich's saying, "It's a poem, not a police report."  I love that idea,  and repeat it to myself often when I find myself getting too fussy.

So what do you think?

970 Virtual Hugs

What I miss most during these isolated, socially distanced times are my (adult) children's hugs.  We are a family of "huggers" so this has been very difficult for us.

I received a beautiful little vase for my birthday from someone special.  It is one of many beautiful vases from Anthropologie, and unlike this one, it has a ceramic pansey attached.  I thought it would be difficult to represent, so I painted a real pansey.
