Love is Gentle
12 x 16 inch (30 x 40 cm) acrylic painting on gallery-wrapped canvas
I have been back in my studio and am painting - very differently from how I was painting before our road trip (travel always inspires me) and I'm having so much fun! I had this urge to paint more painterly, creating more depth and a richness that I had been missing.
She turned out beautifully and to me looks so kind. Plus, the texture ... oh, how I wish you could feel it! It still amazes me that I can make something like that.
I'm already on to my next painting. Now that Daniel is ambulatory again, I have more time to create... It's all good!
Love this Silke; there is a distinct difference from your previous work (it' all good, it's just growth!) and it's exciting watching what is going on!
ReplyDeleteAnd it is obvious you're ENJOYING it! Above all else, that is the most important part.
XXOO!!

ReplyDeleteLiebe Silke, jede Reise ist auch eine Reise zu Deiner inneren Welt. Auch bei mir führt jede Reise (nicht Urlaub) zu einem neuen Kreativitätsschub im Anschluss. Deine neue Frau ist sehr schön geworden und sie hat einen sehr entspannten Ausdruck. Wenn Du erst seit einem Jahr malst, freue ich mich schon sehr auf die Ergebnisse nach 5 Jahren;-))! Ich selbst habe auch erst mit 39 beschlossen mit voll und ganz diesem "Kreativen Leben" zu widmen. Es ist nicht immer leicht aber immer spannend und während der Arbeit sehr befriedigend. Herzliche Grüße von Luzia.
