Current Scenes at the Cottage

B & I recently enrolled in an official painting class taught by a professional artist. .💛💚🧡🔅☀️ I discovered that I adore painting with sunlight as a muse. Like other Victorian painters such as William Merritt Chase, I prefer a sun umbrella to a studio roof over my head. . .☀️💚🧡✨ . Yesterday afternoon, I set up my easel outdoors, where the ☀️sunlight caught my eye and the air was fresh. . ✨💛🧡🔅✨ . My goal was to convey the sense of complete tranquility in nature. Of course I’m not the first one to do it, but I’m proud to carry on the tradition of the Victorian painters who love the outdoor vista venue. ✨ .☀️🌾☀️ Exploring the interplay of light and shadow, I stippled on layers of Subtle pastel colors, to capture the shadows cast by white folds of a skirt on a child I had imagined in my mind on the banks of the Little Red River. . .✨🌾☀️ My instructor was thrilled, but my husband was not impressed. His comment was, “not bad for an amateur.” .✨💚🔅💛🥰 . . . 🔅💛 . 💛🔅 . 🔅🧡 .. 💛💚 #heIsDifficultToImpress #everyonesAcritic #gottaLoveHim
