I've never painted watermelon before, and I wasn't sure I'd like the subject because I like interesting shapes, not just pleasing color. Once I cut up this watermelon I realized that the wedges can make quite interesting compositions.
The last couple of weeks I've been trying to concentrate on the business end of things, and I've learned something- the business end of things can completely take over if you let it! I'm traveling to an island in Maine for a couple weeks, and am excited to paint there, but in the midst of packing and running last minute errands I felt that I HAD to do a small painting or explode. I limited myself to three hours, which stretched to four, then five.
Very nice work with the watermelon wedges! What island in Maine? Mt. Desert? Have a fantastic time! I love painting in Maine...
ReplyDeleteThanks Amy! I'm going to Peaks Island, near Portland.
ReplyDeleteWow, sounds like a great vacation! I assume there's no internet there...we'll miss you, but it will be relaxing to get away from all that business. I found myself very busy this week with a whole other aspect of this painting life - framing, shipping, varnishing - it's not business, and not quite pleasure. Needs a new category.
