We live in an ascending scale when we live happily, one thing leading to another in an endless series. ~ Robert Louis Stevenson
I finally got a little bit of painting out of my system. I think I just needed to start, pick up the brush and paint anything, letting it grow on it’s own. That’s exactly what happened.
I painted in my red rosin journal and just started with a circle which turned into an oval and then a face. And without thinking too much, a house appeared, some trees, the sun and moon and finally an ascending path.
Sometimes I think too much! It felt good to play, let loose and rise above my own expectations. Ahhhhhhh, pure bliss.
Beautiful painting….and the thoughts are very inspiring.
Oh this is fab and bit spooky…I’ll explain… I put my paints out yesterday thinking ‘right I just going to play,doodle whatever’..just to start-no pressure etc…well I got a bit of time in the evening and my painting evolved into a hill with a face and sun shining down..hmm-see what I mean! 🙂
that is so funny! great minds think alike, am I right?
It’s very interesting!
This is gorgeous Regina, as always. I love your work so much. And by the way, I swear you must live inside my head because I feel every single thing you pin and paint is exactly what I would pin or paint. Going to have to try that red rosin paper… I am always looking for great surfaces to paint. My current favorites are gessoe’d cereal boxes.
I was looking through your pins last night thinking the same thing! I swear!! The red rosin paper is really fun. I might have to try the cereal boxes. We have plenty of those around here!
i love this regina! it is so funny i was thinking of a painting in my head with a woman with a house on her head and a bird on the house then i come to your blog and wham! there she is lovelier than the one i had imagined:)
We must all be feeling the same wind of ideas. You re too sweet!
