Funny that I've been painting California and France in summer while a snowstorm is hitting our city. Here's a look outside our window.
Oh to be at Giverney again. It is so beautiful. We were there in the month of June and took the train from Paris to the town of Verdun outside of Paris. (or was that town near Versailles? I can't recall. Now, I'll have to look it up or I won't be able to sleep!) Here's the inspiration to all that French daydreaming... my waterlily painting. It's still not finished but is coming along.
Here are a few sketchy drawings that sort of poured out of my as a 'free write' would. Trying to tap into more subconscious subject matter as a way to get some ideas for new work. I was surprised to see what spilled onto the paper... I'm hoping to move in another direction this year with subject matter... but, am not demanding it from myself. What are your art plans for the new year?
