I am listening to, of all things, a Donovan cd that was brought into the gallery by another artist. Brings back memories of childhood. The sun is shining into the back window of the gallery and I am thankful for the radiant heater. I am longing to get into my studio and finish up a painting I have been working on for a couple of months now. It is a painting for myself and from a wonderful day on Dingle Penninsula in Ireland. I traveled there in July of 2008 with a girlfriend of mine. She was not a painter and I only painted one time during the whole trip. I did take over 1800 pictures to use as reference for paintings when I got home. This coming fall I am returning with my husband and best friend of 30 years. He is wonderful to travel with and always makes sure that I have time to paint.
The view I am painting is from an old cemetary with celtic crosses, field grasses and a view of the bay. Storm clouds breaking up so that the sun shown through. Absolutely gorgeous. I just have a few more layers in the foreground and to decide if I need one more cross in the composition. Cheers for now, kim
