Today's painting is a funky version of yesterday's "traditional" zinnias. So I guess I'm doing a zinnia series! And I have another one for tomorrow. My husband said "more flowers?" I said - yup! I just love to paint flowers, especially this funky style.
Oh what a wonderful discovery - a great art supply store is near us, and they're having a huge sale. That's an artist's dream - and nightmare!! So many temptations. I stocked up on oil paints, filled in some "holes" in my acrylic paint supply and bought a few canvases. I have my eye on a great easel but I have to find homes for more of my art before that happens. The workers there are very friendly and knowledgeable - mainly artists I think. My husband bought some sculpting tools - he started a new sculpture class at the Kansas City Art Institute yesterday - casting with aluminum. Now this is my kind of shopping!
I'm heading to the McCall farm to paint today. It's "warm"!! Just hope there's a breeze. This is a great chance to expand my developing oil painting skills and to hang out with some local artists. You may see what I learn today.
Have a beautiful evening!
Claudia, this is the style I know and love...and the colors too. I love seeing the new selections as well.

Thanks, Sharon - and especially thanks for checking my blog and your support of my art! I love painting this style - but I'm also enjoying experimenting with a more "sophisticated" style with the oil paintings. Tuesday nights I'm painting with Carol McCall - she and her husband are both great oil painters. Carol is sharing a style that seems to work well with my florals. I'll write more about it tomorrow when I post the art I did last night. I doubt that I'll ever give up this funky approach that you like - it's too much fun!
