Figure Study – Simplicity
Simplicity and the fewest brush strokes possible were the keys to this figure study.
I loved the idea of putting down a few strokes, only the ones needed to represent some mid-tones and shadows, in combination with a few sketchy lines. It was nerve-wracking for sure, but I let go and brushed the colour on the paper as quickly as possible so that I didn't have time to think.
How exhilarating! I've always taken my time with my acrylic paintings. I was meticulous and sometimes paintings would take months to finish. No more! I'm done with that. I adore the adrenaline rush I get from completely letting go and putting down the fewest strokes possible in the shortest amount of time possible.
I think I will be doing this more often...so much fun!!

Hugs & Love!

Giving Back
The time has finally come...to give back to the Sheriff King Home!
I've been working toward this day for many years. In 2008, I spent 5 weeks in the Sheriff King Home with my two children. I had finally worked up the courage to leave my husband after 7 years of self-sacrifice, emotional abuse and adultery. He didn't take it well at all.
