Katherine Jeanne Wood - trees and clouds

After nearly 2 weeks straight of stormy weather, we had a sunny day yesterday, sorta. The rain is back, tho, and will stick around for another week. It’s okay with me. We really need it after the drought we were in for a few years.

All true artists, whether they know it or not, create from a place of no-mind, from inner stillness.

My new favorite

Large acrylic impasto floral painting No 175

This is a mixed media collage painting on 16×20 canvas. It was painted with palette knives, and artist quality acrylic paint. Can I also add that it’s my new favorite? Okay, great!! 🙂 Lucky you, it’s available for purchase here.

Paint a little, then step back

Sometimes, I find that with larger canvases, it’s easier to lay them flat on the table, rather than use my easel. I can move around the painting better this way. The easel comes in handy when I think the painting is finished or when I want to examine the painting in its upright position to make sure everything looks right. Sometimes, when I work flat, I fail to see the vase is crooked or the flowers aren’t placed as well as they could be.

It helps greatly to place the canvas on the easel to get an idea of how it will look hanging on a wall. If I need to add more to the painting, I usually leave it on the easel. I paint a little, then step back. Paint a little, and step back. You should always do that to get a viewer’s perspective of a painting because you can’t always trust your view as an artist. Most of the time, an artist stands way too close to a painting to be able to really see it as others do.

Strawberry shortcake

Flower Series No 155

Spring has sprung in the midwest. We went from cold, and snow to 75F overnight, it seems. It always amazes me how that happens. Sweet Pea has been enjoying time on the back porch. We haven’t introduced the kittens to the porch yet, and we’re thinking we probably won’t. It’s one thing that Sweet Pea has all to herself to enjoy without interruption. She puts up with so much from them as it is. They are quite pesky, and get on her nerves, since she’s a big cat and all.

These little 4×4 mini paintings look so great blooming in my studio, I hate to part with them. I don’t know why, but when I look at them it reminds me of strawberry shortcake. This new little floral series is available directly through me here. March special – buy 3 4×4 mini paintings, and get one free!!
