Sometimes...and happy 400 to me!

Sometimes I get overwhelmed by the things that need to get done and I over think.

I spend way too long trying to think of the best idea EVER instead of

just sitting down and going with whatever comes to me naturally. 

I'm in the process of doing 10 small paintings for the gallery that I belong

to for our annual 100 for $100 show in December.

I don't do small well.

I like BIG paintings with BIG color and pattern.

I use a lot of patterned paper in my art so I need to do BIG to keep the print in proportion to my art.

So you can see my problem with doing 10 8"x10" paintings, right?

I decided on a theme to make things a little bit easier.

Angels.

Christmas is coming and doing something seasonal also helps.

So with that in mind I did tons and tons of sketches trying to

decide the best way to do these paintings.

I hated everything I came up with.

So Saturday I just opened up a canvas and drew whatever

came to me right on to the canvas.

In permanent marker!!

One down...9 more to go!

The theme here is don't over think, just go with it. 

I will be having a print SALE on Black Friday,

Buy 2 get 1 FREE!

All of my new paintings will be available in print form on that day.

This is my 400th post. Yay!!

Enjoy your day!
