I got an email recently from Sarah at Put It On.com, a new online home for undiscovered artists in art, music, fashion, and film. Although I have yet to produce anything worth joining the service to share, I haven’t shared any paintings with you all my friends for awhile, so here you are.
First, this portrait I finished yesterday. Accept except I forgot to take the tape off before I had my hero shoot it. I like it, but there are things even now that I can identify as needing to be fixed. If I were inclined to work on it anymore. But I’m ready to move on.
Second pictured is a landscape from Wendy’s vacation to Grand Cayman last November. This is the second time I’ve painted this photo: the first lives at a friend’s house now and this one is promised to a relative.
Today I take off painting. Tomorrow I hope to start something new. In the meantime, I’ve also been asked to do another bed for a show. I think my new “identity” shall be artist. More on that to come.
Beautiful Rebecca! Well done!!
I don’t care how the art instructor says that anyone can do this. I am just bowled over.
Did you *know* before the art class that you could produce such beautiful work?
Thanks Wendy! I am going to try one of your flowers in the very near future too. 🙂
Vildy – I wish you were here and could take the class with me! No, I really didn’t have much in the way of skills at all. It’s not as impressive as it looks – we are allowed to trace (although the beach-scape is drawn using a grid system). Are you interested in art?
I’m thinking I’ll stick with it. At first, my thought was “I don’t have 35 years to paint 8 hours a day”. But then I got thinking “in 35 years, I’ll be 80. If I keep on painting at least some until then, maybe I can sell some paintings – a very respectable retirement occupation for an 80 year old lady”. 🙂
I think every artist looks at their work and sees things that need to be fixed. To me, the first one looks wonderful as is. You should take the tape off, put it on your wall and call it finished so everyone else can admire it!
You do beautiful paintings. You should specialise in portraits!!
OH MY GOODNESS. I envy your talented hands! You should sell those. They are worth selling!!!
WOW! You’re watercolors are gorgeous!! Thanks for sharing them with us! 🙂
These are gorgeous! The detail in the portrait is awesome!
Rebecca … beautiful work!
