Falling Contrast

I'm really starting to enjoy the larger canvas in the last few months, and this piece is definitely one that I enjoyed doing purely due to the way the size of the work space contributes to the effect. With autumn being upon us, I am fortunate to see some incredibly GORGEOUS sights as I drive along my local roads. The colours have changed and I find myself surrounded by the most bold and vibrant colours amongst the empty harvested corn fields and the growing fall crops. As I was driving I struggled with this image I wanted to capture in paint and have been itching to get it out.

From this came this painting, hopefully I've managed to capture it in a way that appeals to more than just me.....however I am very happy with it regardless. There's something about fall foliage that brightens my day and captures my attention. This piece will be staying with me......however I am working on an idea to release some affordable prints in my etsy shop in the upcoming weeks.

Little Blue Jay

Done, finally. Up until three days ago it was only the tree, done but looking unfinished. Then along came an idea to paint the little bird after staring at a faux flower arrangement I have. As I said in my previous post my daughter has fallen in love with it so it's become a gift to her; it'll be sad to have it leave my office. While the spring and summer are gone, this piece really brings you right back into it!

Why I love my kids.....well one of many reasons!

Tonight my kids made me cry......and it was a good reason. Today I finally put the finishing touches on my latest painting.....little Blue Jay. The piece is currently drying in my office/studio. As we're getting ready for bed I enter the room to see my husband and kids viewing the finished piece and talking about it, may daughter admiring it more than the other two. My husband looks at me and starts to attempt to discreetly point towards my daughter as if to ask if I could give it to her. After thinking about it a moment I agreed which was immediately followed by my son asking for my other piece reaching (boys and fire.....who knew?).

Well I've now gifted them.....and while I'm sad to give away the canvas I've been staring at for the past few weeks, I'm glad I could make their day. What really got me was when my daughter looked at me quite seriously and said "Mommy, I have two dollars I can give you for this so it's almost like selling it in a real shop"; which was followed by my little guy offering his two dollars. No money was exchanged, but did I ever hold those two in a hug that seemed to be the longest moment in history.

I love my kids!
