Color Therapy

 No wonder they offer painting in sanitariums!
I warmed up with an easy picture....the blend between the colors didn't please me,
 so I redid the background and added the palm trees again!
 Likewise, the beach picture I had previously done had a cloud I didn't like so I repainted the sky
and then the beach looked blank so .........I added a few sandpipers!  
I had to practice first on scrap paper!
 Just what it needed!  Now I can see the beach even when I can't go there!
(They are beginning to lift the beach bans here which is a welcome thought!)
 Here's a laugh for the day--see what I keep in my walker's seat !? 
 No surprise, right?!
And beauty for the day......the tropical milkweed is letting loose its seeds!

  1. Love the texture of the beach painting! Abigail is ready to be done with school and spend some long days playing the piano and painting...after sleeping in late, of course. :)

  2. Beautiful work!!!
    I had to laugh out loud at your photo of your walker. True story: Dad had the same one and whenever I took him shopping with it I had to empty it at checkout because he figured out he could steal stuff using it. It took me a while to catch on to what he was doing. It was the dementia that made him act that way but I still worried about him and me ending up in the pokey because even if I knew he wasn't well, to anyone in public he seemed like any other little old man. Dementia can be very tricky like that. It took me ages to even convince the doctors something was wrong. It's not until it goes full blown that you can see it and it takes years-some very interesting years. Now that I have some distance I can find the humor in some of his crazy antics.

  4. I love how your waves are so textured. Your sandpipers are simply perfect.

    Hope you get to the beach soon.

  5. You're not going to want to ever stop using that walker. It's way too handy. Your paintings are incredible. I'm always in awe of people that can paint. It seems like a mysteriously beautiful skill to me.
    Blessings,

  7. The palm tree painting is beautiful - love the colors and the silhouettes. Having yarn handy makes it easier to be productive - you’ve found the perfect solution.

  8. I love your beach painting - even the before scene. What a great use for your walker seat! At the rate you are going, you will not be using that walker much longer.
