Swept Away!

Picking up Speed! 30x36  Mixed Media $1400

I am so happy to finally finish this one. I have been 95% finished for months and just hadn't had the time in the studio to make it happen. Seems like I have been behind on my work since the new year started. I have just finished a commission I've been working on, so I should be able to focus back on my projects.

I really enjoyed my time in the workshop. I was very rewarding to get out of my studio and get to know and work with other artists. Leslie was a great teacher and a lot of fun to be around. So bummed I had to miss the gourmet dinner she cook for all of us. You can check her out at http://www.saetastudio.com/Leslie_Saeta_fine_Art/Home.html

What a great job from all the class artist.

Happy Painting!!

3 Day Palette Knife Workshop

Sometimes it's just great to take an art class and learn from new and different artists.
 I'm taking a palette knife workshop with Leslie Saeta this week and so far it's been a blast.

To begin with we painted a value study. Always an important step when looking for the design in your painting.

Next we painted a similar still life, but with color this time. This wraps up our first day and it was a lot of fun.

Day 2; Leslie painting a demo for us. I really like the way she has broken things down into steps.

 Leslie working away.

This is what I worked on today. 2-12"x12" canvases.

Now off to my evening class at SCAD. 

Teaching, instead of being a student, but I'll be back as student tomorrow morning. I think we are painting boats. Yay!!

Happy Painting,

Dawn

Big Sky - Big Color!!48"x48"

48"x48" Big Sky

My first big painting since the 30 day challenge, 30 paintings in 30 days. It felt wonderful to be back in the studio and work big and bold again. I would like to work on series of the large landscapes and see where I can take it.

Happy painting!

Dawn
