Here is an officially completed painting—official because Jim photographed it. There are snapshots of it in progress on previous blog posts. The painting, Water Jazz, is large—2 canvases which when bolted together make the painting 58 inches x 80 inches. Here it is:
And yes, I’m really am working on ten paintings at once. Don’t ask me how this happened. Perhaps a bit of panic at my rapidly approaching shows? Four of the paintings are actually 4 separate panels which will end up as 2 paintings—a long & square panel each for each painting. So maybe I should say I’m working on 8 paintings at once. All in different stages of completion. Since I don’t have enough room on my easel, I have a bunch of paintings I’m working on flat on tables. You should see me dancing back and forth across my studio applying paint—it’s quite aerobic.
Here’s a painting that’s maybe (with luck) be getting close to completion:
Just started the one below:
And here are 6 (or 8 depending on how you count them), flat on tables:
Enough of this spending time on the computer—I need to get my apron on and get to painting!
re: one finished and ten in the works
Good Morning, Barbara,
*I just found and joined your blog. I have a question on the “One Finished”…post.
Do yo do your early work on the computer? If so, which program?
*The second photo reflects semi-rectangles of shades of blue and purple. Are these boulders?
*Third photo reflects several rectangles, but I can’t tell what the small image within each shape reflects. Are they people? I’m just trying to figure out where this painting will go with the hard gray edges in what I assume will be flowing water of some type. Love your work and photos of your studio, workshops and travels! Busy Lady!
