Sometimes when I get frustrated with my paintings I take a break and just paint something fun that I know will turn out how I want it to. For me it's usually these little pear oil paintings, I love the colors I get to use and the shapes of the pears.
It's so cold outside right now, and I think it got reflected in today's painting. I should have picked a warmer subject. I'm still cold, time to go put on another sweater.
I wasn't able to post a painting yesterday because my husband took me on a romantic getaway for our early Valentines day :) but I'm back today this piece. It turned out a little... umm...I don't even know what to call it... it just wasn't how I thought it would turn out. But it is a painting of one of my favorite places, which I miss very much...especially in the winter.
