I am painting the Cotswolds in England next! I'm off to get wood to build the canvas.
Let the games begin. YAY! I am so excited to be painting again. This one is 5 feet long so it may take a while!
Musical inspiration of the day:
I have an mp3 player now so I am all over the place. I will now be
citing the song of the day from now on I suppose
Today: The Cranberries- "Dreams". (I was feeling sort of retro.)
Some progress. Though green is the best color ever, I forgot how challenging it is to show depth in an almost completely green painting... More to come y'all.
Inspirational song of the day:
"Superman"- Three Doors Down

Inspirational song of the day:
"Season's Change"- Corinne Bailey Rae
"Don't you know that,
that patience is a virtue (yes it is), and life is a waiting game...don't
you know that, peace must be nurtured
And all the money in the world can buy you nothing... (i tell you that)
All these things happen, all these things happen for a reason, don't you go
on and throw it all away ...when the seasons change (you gonna change)..."
-Corinne Baliey Rae (Lyrics)
(preach it sista!)

I spilled paint on my dog today. She likes to sleep under where I am painting. Oops!
I changed the reddish triangle in the foreground some and I also filled in the green on the right hill. I also started working with the sky. It probably won't stay yellow, but it's a start at least.
