Don't have too much to show you this week as far as painting. Have been stressed out yet again this time its because Lou's german shepherd Toby is failing. He was diagnosed with cancer a few months ago but he is 13 years old and his back legs are no longer working. It is just so sad to watch it all unfold. It has not even been a year since we lost Bosco. No matter how old they are it is still so heartbreaking.
Anyway, I was able to get a new canvas started the other night. I am taking yet another online class, my third with Julie Prichard and Chris Cozen over at the Land of Lost Luggage. This one is called "Texture Town". How cool is that name! I am having fun watching a marathon of videos as they are all available when you sign up. The classes are so affordable and there is never a time limit and you always get very prompt instructor feedback no matter how long the class has been up. You can check out the available classes they offer HERE. If you have not taken a class with them I highly recommend it!
Not sure where I am going with this canvas but wanted to share where I am at so far! I got frustrated and stuck so this is where I am at for now. I love brown and dark blue's together. I am thinking that is the direction my colors will be heading.
I will keep you posted on how this progresses!
Sharing over at Paint Party Friday.

sorry about your poor pet - I still remember when the poodle I had since the age of 9 finally had to be taken down :( the texture painting is lovely & almost stands as a finished piece in an abstract expressionistic way
ReplyDeleteYou've got a lovely start on your painting. I'm sorry to hear about Toby - it is always so sad to lose a beloved pet.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry to hear about Toby. our animal companions are just as big a part of our family as the human members, so I know it must be so difficult to see him failing.
ReplyDeleteI like what you've done so far. the raised numbers look great. I love texture on a canvas so this sounds like a great class.
WIP looks cool, kind of like ancient tile - great texture-, very intriguing!
ReplyDeleteGood day,
