#22 of 50 "Moving On"

"Moving On", Watercolor & Acrylic, 500# Paper, 5"x 5" SOLD
"Moving On" You know how it is to have an idea for a long time but it never happens? I have thought of this idea over and over again. Maybe it just wasn't ready to happen until now. I love that it is bright and that the spiral symbol is shown in both watercolor and acrylic. I like to think of the spiral as 'new beginnings'. I also like how the piano keys are 3-D and floating without an interuption to move on at a steady pace. Kinda like these paintings. I think I'm obviously getting inspired by all of the store front window decorations for Valentines Day. I debated about making it all pink but I love how it contrasts with the black keys and dances on stage.

#20 of 50 "Between Acts"

"Between Acts", Watercolor & Acrylic, 5"x 5"    Available
"Between Acts" This idea came from my sketchbook. We were starting a Mole Family Vacation and all met in Arroyo Grande in the Central Valley of California. This place was open for lunch but they had already set up and were anticipating that evening's entertainment. I had to sketch it; it felt like the stool and the music stand were having their own conversation. You can probably tell that I just finished it. The music squiggle in acrylic is still shiny and wet. A painting a day and 30 to go. I have to say it's a great challenge. I received a Congrads card today that says, "Awesome! You're doing great. Keep up the Good Work!" Thank you all for the comments and support. It is most appreciated!
