Connie’s Studio

I’ve had a sore arm because of a pulled muscle so I haven’t been painting so much of late. Did do the following today tho ... Until next time ... Paint On! Connie

We hosted family for Easter again this year and I have been doing a lot of Spring cleaning as we are getting a new garage soon.  I have been trying to doodle and paint as well ... I just want to get all those household things done first.  Anyway ... I bought a couple of linen canvas recently at Hobby Lobby because they were so cheap and I’ve never painted on linen before.  I started with a wash of lavender on one and set it aside. A couple of nights ago I just started adding random marks and patches of pink, purple, orange and white. Last night I decided to cover all that up and painted this beach scene, 9 x 12 on linen. Until next time ... Paint On! Connie

Wow!  It’s been a couple of weeks since I posted here. Been busy with life but I have been drawing and painting as well. Been concentrating on flowers and floral things of late with the first Spring blooms finally popping up around the neighborhood. Spring Garden, Acrylic on canvas 16” x 20” Also a couple of flower drawings from a free challenge I took part in by Blushed Design Until next time... Paint On! ~Connie

Once again, I was just trying to cover up something that I had been experimenting on the night before and really had no plan except for a reference photo.  I’m really happy with the result too! Sunset Cloudscape, Acrylic on watercolor paper 18” x 24” Until next time ... Paint On! Connie

Been painting just about every day but nothing much that I want to show off. This started as what I thought would be another sunset but turned into a nightscape. Still want to tweak it some but am happy with it so far ... Until next time Paint On! Connie

I like how the individual flowers came out in this painting but not the composition. Either way it was good practice for these flowers. Until next time ... Paint On! Connie
