Something that I have been needing is getting back to nature. These landscape paintings are a start of something that I just need. Been doing all kinds of nature/forest animal studies with the 100 day project that I have fallen behind because of these panorama paintings. (That's ok-I am still painting/drawing EVERY day. Just not in my sketchbook that I was posting on Instagram.) I mean 12" x 30" is bigger than I normally paint and something that I need to start which I am-12x12" first-then I keep stepping up to bigger then I go back to 6"x6" as a practice painting the smalls is I can paint the bigs-which I am. Something tells me that people aka collectors of art/paintings are holding onto the wallets a wee bit tighter lately this year and not making any hasty decisions yet. They need to feel sure about buying art. My story is slowly but surly getting out there. And my art practice is also slowly but certainly growing and developing. I'm ok that it is a slow process. This year I plan to have a solid collection for sale. Different sizes and price points. And not to mention my email marketing project. My website is solid, but I have to take a day to complete my monthly email marking via Omnisend. That admin stuff artists need to do. Stepping away from the paint for a minute to step into the chair in front of the computer. That is hard! But I'm on it.
These landscape paintings (NFS-repurposed Wayfair canvas wall art!) are exactly what I needed for my space under the 1980's kitchen cabinet and also to prove to myself that I can paint a landscape painting and not have to paint over it like I do ALOT. Which I’m so fine with. That painting that just doesn’t feel right makes me feel so much better when I paint over it! Truly. It’s just paint. Feels good move on and the new one almost always turns out ever better than expected!
I love them. I want to paint many more. It's what I needed. To get back to nature. Because I always say- "Nature is the answer to everything" Painting it is needed. And my hope is that people need my art some day.
