Post 373: Garden Patio a Painting in Progress

What Brought About this Painting?

I have a greenish thumb I believe. Most of the things I try to grow usually survive. My yard may be tiny these days, but I love coaxing a tomato or two along for a great sandwich. And yes, I go daffy over the first signs of the crocus and the daffodils.

O-if-only, I had a wonderful garden space and patio where things might grow! Not too overwhelming, a garden size just right. An English garden. An Italian villa garden. A garden patio even! Hence, this painting came about as the days passed with the daily progress of emerging plants coming up from the ground...and a vision of past gardens and patios.

Garden Patio Painting in Progress Images…

A painting starts off rather butt ugly don't they? They do for me. I take a rather watered down burnt sienna and go over the whole project. Sometimes I draw on the canvas first, but more often I do it after the blocking in of the BS. (burnt sienna, good acronym)

Know where the light is coming from - where the sun is, where the horizon is - get a feel where things will go.

What will I grow on the patio? Decisions to be made. My patio would have a wonderful view from every window, every entry way, of course.

Then after the patio is planted, what else will be on my patio? Shall i have a garden bench, a table for a cup of coffee?

Paintings are an artist's vision, a piece of an artist's soul, are they not? 

Come out and see the show! 

You've heard the saying about supporting local art, I am sure. One of the more common versions lately is to support local artists - while they're still alive! If you think about that, it makes more sense and perhaps its more affordable too. ; )
