Friday, I had hoped to get two paintings finished but it just didn’t happen. However, I did finish one painting and I am thankful for that.

I really enjoyed the purples, lavendars and blues and I love the deep purple stock. What fun that was. Then Saturday morning, I got up before the little man did and blocked in a sunny painting featuring snapdragons and a yellow rose. He woke up and occupied himself willingly so I decided to keep painting and was able to finish!

As of this morning, I am behind by 7 paintings according by my schedule. BUT, the little man is a Grandma’s house, today, so if I do two more, I will be starting to catch up. And I tried setting a 2 hour timer for myself this morning, and it was quite successful. I finished before the timer went off! Now, if I can keep that momentum going, I’ll be in shape soon, and maybe even get ahead.

Early Friday morning. Assessing the next two paintings.

Blocking in.

Before – Look for a video in my previous post to see how I soften my edges.

Finished.

A fiery painting in the works. Yellow rose with Snapdragons.

This was a fun one. My son painted on the computer while I painted with actual paint. And we kept saying “Looket!” to each other. “Look what I have created!!”

I think I’ve done enough roses – maybe not…

I snagged some roses from my garden early this morning.

From white untouched board to this in 15 minutes. I was on a rolllllll.

Stopping to breathe.

Done before my timer went off. Thank you, Lord!!
