Bed Pieces Project 5

Seems like all I've posted is about the violin...but I did work on the Bed Pieces Project this past loooong weekend. This weekend, I'll get pictures up of the three of four that are finished.

Andy got home from his Bike Trip and really loved the pieces I finished. That usually means that the client will love them, too, and so it is an excellent sign that I am almost finished. This is fun, but it's been a challenge and learning experience.

It's actually ANDY's turn to work on them this weekend! Andy is a whiz at wood working. The pieces do need some repairs, cuts, and other stuff he would have to teach me and/or do for me. I don't know who has the more difficult part, the artist painting or the wood expert repairing. That will be a blog post (or two, or three, considering how I write) for the weekend, especially if we get rained out of the beach.

I'll stop the words, & let you see a picture. Mind that when the final touches are done (tape removal, wood work, etc.), those photos will be posted, too.

Smiles!

Bed Pieces Project 4

Today I've spent a few hours in my studio with the bed pieces & have become very scared and fascinated. Scared because I want & crave my client to love these paintings. Fascinated because my colors (palette) seem to be changing again to what perhaps she does not prefer.

My client wants sunset/sunrise with a lot of green palm trees. Lucky me, I enjoy painting palm trees, but they are not always green. Visit my webpage, www.angelinemarie.net, and you will see what I mean after you click on the header link to "Palm Trees."

Green. I painted in the sunrise. WOW. HOT, BOLD, FUN, FRESH, POPPING COLOR! Florida! I love this gushy, YUMMY color! Whoa, now, my client wants green. Where did the green go? I don't care about the green - I love the sunrise effects! Grumble, grumble, ok, I will tone down the sunrise & paint in the palm trees greener again. This, friends, is the palette change.

My "Second Mom" unexpectedly passed away in January, 2007. Shortly thereafter, not even a week later, my colors abruptly changed to moody, tonal, and somber. The bright colors seemed to have left with her, no matter what wet paint I poured onto my palette. The colors would mix into darker and sadder tones although my energy remained. I digress from the project...but now that it's August, 2009, it seems that the brightness wants to return!

Did it have to happen in the middle of this project?????!!!!!!!!

Standby this weekend for more adventures while I laugh until my sides hurt,
