One of my New Year's Resolutions was to paint more often. Having two small children makes this quite a challenge, but I have been inspired by many of the Daily Painters I have seen, and felt drawn (no pun intended!) to join the movement. Fortunately, I have a wonderful husband who is very supportive. My goal is to create one small painting each day which I will post to this blog. I have always loved the arts, but only began painting a couple of years ago. I have been so fortunate to have had a wonderful mentor in Martin Ahrens. Martin and his wife Joyce Hall Ahrens are both incredible artists and instructors who emphasize the importance of light and shadows in making a painting come to life. I hope that you will enjoy my work. Please don't hesitate to comment, either positively or negatively. I hope to never stop learning and growing!
This was a painting from a photograph that Martin Ahrens had in one of the classes. I love the colors in the bowl! This is oil on 9"x12" stretched canvas.
Hey Beth, It is so funny that I was thinking about you this morning and thinking to myself that I was going to call you and set up a lunch. Then I sat down to check email and got mimi's email with your blog. We must be meant to get together. I will call you soon. Regarding your paintings, all I can say is WOW! You really have a talent and I am so proud of you for tapping into it and doing it so well. Can't wait to see more.
