I sold three paintings in town today, hooray! I always translate my earnings into how many weeks of groceries I could buy. Today I earned a months worth! So we won't be going hungry any time soon :)
I loved how bright this grass was in the sun this morning. I also liked the bright blue of the boat cover next to it...but I couldn't get it as bright as it actually was, even though I have probably 7 different blues to work with.
Another little still life for today, using the same technique as yesterday. I love how the brushstrokes on the plate turned out, they are exactly what I wanted. I don't usually use these panels for still lifes, I feel like they're a little to smooth for such open shapes, but I really enjoyed working on them for these last two paintings.
First Friday was last night, and it went better than I hoped! I had so much fun, and even sold three paintings. And Carpinteria is the cutest little town, I just love hanging out here. Thank you to Leigh Sparks for letting me join her in her shop :)
There's a certain part of my new neighborhood that really reminds me of the Dharma houses in Lost...I thinks it's because they're all painted in pastel colors or bright yellow. I feel like I should look out for polar bears when I walk through it.
