Going with the flow-- another intuitive painting

Ok, this is SO MUCH FUN to do!  I am onto something here for myself.  It may be a clusterf*ck on canvas, but it was very enjoyable.  I'm so excited to learn this new process and can't wait for my course starting in February!

Not sure what to call this and not sure how to hang it either…

It's big-- 30"x40"

Ok, now I have to finish painting a golden retriever!!

New Intuitive Painting

Ok, so I signed up for Flora Bowley's e-course starting on Feb. 10th. I can't wait!! In the meantime, I have her book and am learning this process from that. Here is the latest painting : 36"x36":

I'm sure a psychiatrist would like to get ahold of me after seeing this one!! LOL  I will be painting another one today.  I LOVE this process!!!  It's not about the end result, but about the painting itself.  It's so much fun and very interesting to see how each piece turns out.  

Broken Wrist and Two New Dog Paintings - Dachshunds and Basset Hound Dog

Well, my wrist broke when I was in the car accident so I was discombobulated for a couple of weeks… But I had to get two paintings done for friends and family!  Thank goodness it was my left wrist and not my right one.  Been casted up for awhile not.

The first painting I did recently was for one of my best friends and my next door neighbor. She has two dachshunds and I know them well. Incidentally, this friend, Terri, was in the car with me when that truck hit us!  Her leg fractured near her knee! She's been basically bed ridden the last 5 weeks and now she has cellulitis on her leg!  Such a bummer…

Anyway, I painted her dogs on 18"x24" canvas:

 Frankie and Johnny!  I took this with my cell phone --forgot to get a "real" photo before I gave it to her, but she lives next door, so I'll do that later. Anyway, didn't get it done in time for Christmas, but she understood!

The next one I painted was for my husband's cousin and family… they recently lost their basset hound. We are fortunate that they live about 8 miles from us and we love them dearly.  So I will be gifting them this painting on Friday over a glass or two of wine:

They are expecting this, as they asked me to paint this particular photo of their late dog, Frisco.  It shows off his goofy side.  He really was a special, sweet soul and I could feel his energy while painting him.  He will be missed, but hopefully this painting will help them feel a bit closer to him until they are reunited once again in the afterlife! LOL 

So got a few others in the works… such as this one in progress: 

hehehehehehe It's a silly one of my puggle boy, Maxi! 

And here I am with my cast: Cheers!!

Happy New Year!!
