Ok. I got my wish for more sun and looking at this painting with fresh eyes I knew - I'm done. If I added just one more block of color, I'd *need* to add a whole new layer. I'd end up losing some of those first layers that are still present in places, and those are some of my favorite "moments" in the painting. So - finis!
I also took a drive out to West Hartford to Jerry's Artarama to get a bunch of new supplies. Since most of the people that read this blog are fellow artists, y'all KNOW how great it feels to get a batch of supplies! It's kind of.... delicious. That feeling plus a cup of coffee (I'm usually a tea drinker so coffee to me = ZING!) has me in a pumped up and sort of spazzy mood. Ready to rock more canvas with my lovely new set of paint. I've got a commission to begin, and that is going to be a lot of fun. I estimated production time to take about 2-3 weeks, but I have a feeling it will be a matter of days. I'm just really excited to jump into this one. Speaking of.... the sun is out and I'm going to go paint! Have a great day....

Jessica!
It really looks fabulous! The colors are wonderful and being able to look at each block singularly as well as the entire painting is quite appealing.
Oh yes! I clearly understand the rush you get from getting that batch of new supplies. So what did you purchase?
I will be watching this blog closely for those new works.
Thanks Jessica.
Peace.
It is just beautiful, Jess! Wow. Moments -- I know what you mean.
And I also know about new stuff to paint with!! It's heaven.
