Summer Sunset

Summer is here in Salt Lake City, so I warmed up my color palette today.  

Sunset-lit feathers and broken shapes are a fun change from painting flowers.  

I love Elise Wehle's newest piece.  

It reminds me of how many emotions and memories we carry in our hands.

Here is the 10th Painting!  

This painting was inspired by the insanely beautiful patterns of the Alhambra in Granada, Spain.  

I was blown away by the intricacies of pattern when I visited there a few years ago.  In the painting I wanted to capture the impression of beauty and mystery that the building holds.

Through Colored Glass

I am happy to say that I finished the ninth painting before 6pm.  Record timing! Here it is.  Only twenty one more paintings to go.

Elise Wehle's latest artwork:

As many of you know, at the end of the 30 Paintings in 60 Days Project, there will be an art show for everyone to come see the finished artwork.  So although I do mean to post a photo of each painting as I do them, I also want there to be some surprise paintings at the show!  Above I have depicted just small details of paintings 6 & 7 so they will still be a surprise for everyone.

I love the teal color in Elise Wehle's latest work below.  Annie Henrie is up to speed on her paintings as well, but has kept photos tightly under wraps for the upcoming art show.  Thanks as always for following along and I love to hear from you!  

Day 6 of 60

Cascade     8" x 12"    $150

I am happy to say I have made it to day 6 of 60. Here is my painting based on the drawing that follows. It was inspired by my total obsession with chandeliers.  My husband can vouch that whenever we go to Lowe's or Home Depot, I am always eyeing the chandeliers. My favorite is the caged chandelier from Restoration Hardware.  This painting was inspired by two chandeliers depicted below.

What do you think of the painting? As always, I appreciate your comments.

Here is Elise Wehle's second piece of artwork!  She is going strong on the project as well.
