Where do I get these ideas???

I had committed to teach a class in a few weeks........

And I didn't have a clue what our painting would be.  The Collective Art Market, here in Lloydminster, is hosting a Sip and Paint Night and asked if I would facilitate it. I said "Yes", then Dawn asked me what we would paint.  

I had the hardest time coming up with a project.  I was brainstorming with my husband the other morning, and I said I wanted it to represent springtime.  We live in Canada, on the prairies, and winter is long.  I said Tulips, and my husband suggested clocks.  Click!!!  Put them together.  Yeah. Then he went to the store and bought me two bunches of tulips.  

Thank you, Dear. 

I painted one after the other.

30 Paintings in 30 Days. Day 9

Last year, my daughter Angela, gave me 2 rose bushes for Mother's Day.  They have hung in there for me despite my gardening skills. Lol. Something has been eating the leaves.......slugs, I think...... But the pink one has bloomed all summer long. 

So I was excited to do a loose floral painting.  It didn't "flow" as easily as I wanted it to, but after I left it alone for a bit, I came back and tossed some more paint on it, and now I am pretty happy with it.  

I would love to create a huge one like this.  Like 4 ft x 4 ft. I might try it again with white roses. 

Stay tuned!!
