Getting Ready for 90-day Challenge and A Squirrel Painting

Ok, this one has been on my mind to do for awhile and it just sort of worked out for me while I was using the intuitive painting process as taught by Flora Bowley.  Check her work out!!  Amazing!

Anyway, here is my "Squirrel on a Diet"! 36"x36" on stretched canvas.  $250 for sale:

Speaking of diets, I'm getting ready to do this 90-challenge at the new gym I joined in August.  Since my car accident in December, I've packed on 15 lbs!! UGH.  So this will get me back on track for sure.  Wish me luck, because it looks like I'm going to be gagging on some crazy weird shake twice a day!

New Intuitive Painting - Garden with Steps

So here is a new painting that I did using the "Intuitive Painting" technique, which several people are teaching right now.  It's basically to just have fun on the canvas and don't get stressed about trying to make something happen.  Just let it flow, layer after layer.   You never know what is going to emerge, but at some point you just want to go with one image or another.  I seem to use a lot of trees... 

 

"Stepping up to the Journey" 

This painting is 36"x36".  It originally started as 38"x38", but I painted it on primed canvas sheeting and then I stapled it to stretcher bars.  

New Dog Painting - Sunny the Golden Retriever

Ok, so we got a contract on our house and we were given 3 weeks to find a house, pack and get out!  Well after I packed my art supplies and the bar area, they canceled because of a family emergency!! So back on the market!  And the house that we put a contract on had to be canceled.  So well, back on the market! 

I managed to get this 11x14 painting done of my friend's dog, Sunny.  He's a sweet golden retreiver:

Sunny DiLeonardo, by Carol Iyer

I have several more intuitive paintings to post that I worked on a couple of months ago.  I used canvas that was on a roll (won't be doing that again!) and so I had to stretch them over bars myself.  Not something I enjoy!  I'll post them next time.  Toodle loo!
