A Work in Progress

Every Wednesday a friend and I get together to paint or work on other art related projects. I always forget to take pictures of my paintings in different stages, so I thought I'd share with you the different stages of the following paintings. Remember, these are all works in progress, not even close to being finished except for maybe the funky tree one. All three of these paintings started out like this first one. I had started these three canvases thinking I would try a tryptic...but that plan changed as you can see!


This next one I'm really not sure about. Ever since I went to Costa Rica a few years ago, I have wanted to do a "clothesline" painting. I guess this is a basic start, but I'm not liking it yet. It will be interesting to see how this one evolves over time. I think it's going to take me awhile!



This painting is getting close, but it's not quite there yet. I'm not sure what it needs, so I'm going to have to stare at it for awhile!


Last but not least, this painting has only a few layers but I'm not sure where to go with it. Its been sitting around awhile, waiting for an inspired moment.


That's about it for now. Happy creating everyone!

    I love clotheslines - they are definitely a recurring image for me.

      Thanks Rinda, I think it would be fun to do a whole series of clothesline paintings!

      Thanks Diane, I also like to look back and be able to see how a painting evolved. I just get so into the process, that most of the time I forget to take the pictures!

      Thank you so much Sarah! I love this one too. It's currently on display at a local gallery and I'm crossing my fingers that it will sell soon, before they rotate it out!
