Stonehewer is an abstract the foundation of which is a beautiful old mansion in Oak Bay. The palette in my mind was softer and more organic, but here she is - sometimes they paint themselves. Again, because of the size I could not scan so I apologize for the quality of the photograph. Maybe when I really retire we'll treat me to a mini ipad - they seem to take fabulous pictures for amateur and professional photographers alike.
And so we are done. What a wonderful experience this has been for me. Although I have been painting for 16 years, I have not painted a multitude of pictures, and completing these 30 in 30 days has been an opportunity for much growth, exploration, experimentation, and completion of unfinished works. I would say in the sixteen years I have painted less than 150 paintings, including these 30, so you can see there was a substantial increase in my output. My emotions during these 30 days roared between anticipation, fear, doubt, confidence, exhaustion and sheer determination. And my end emotion is deep satisfaction and admiration for the hard work artists dedicate to a full time artistic career.
Thank you for watching, for your comments and words of encouragement. I hope you will keep checking the blog - I don't see myself blogging daily while I am still working but do hope to post at least weekly. Don't want to break such good habits and discipline. Cheers.
