Dear blogging friends, I have neglected you far too long, and I apologize for that. In a nutshell, I have been painting like crazy. In the spring, I had galleries to supply. The three paintings above have sold in the last month, and interestingly, they are all florals! Hmmm, perhaps I should pay attention to that...
After the gallery orders were filled, I retreated to my studio to continue my experimentation with the new techniques I've picked up in the last few months, particularly in CW Mundy's workshop. My ratio of successes to failures at present is about 1/10. The paint is flying and the canvases are filling the garbage bins. But my hope is that I will eventually emerge from my garret with a new approach, and perhaps a new understanding of impressionist art.
NEW CLASS ANNOUNCEMENT: I will be teaching 6 week classes in Impressionism for new and continuing students at Mainstreet Art Centre in Lake Zurich, IL starting in September. The classes will be held on Fridays. I will also be teaching a portrait class on Monday evenings, beginning in September. If you'd be interested in any of these classes, please call Mainstreet at (847) 550-0016.
Thats wonderful, Ann! Three sales in a row. Great news for you. Can't wait to take your cont. Impressionism class. If I take your portrait class will we build and destroy there, too?
ReplyDeleteI am not surprised they all sold, Ann. Your work is truly wonderful. Looking forward to seeing what you emerge with from all your intense
ReplyDeletefocus on technique 1 to 10 ratio is great. So hard to achieve that level.
Not surprised these paintings sold - they are beautiful! And I would jump at your class if I were closer!
ReplyDeleteThese are gorgeous. Congratulations on the sales too. You do incredible work.
ReplyDeleteNICE POST!
ReplyDeleteI really love the flower paintings!~
Congrats, too!
I wish I could take your class...Good Luck!
These are truly lovely Ann, no wonder they sold. Congrats! I love impressionist art...so hard to do!! I think the ratio of 1/10 is pretty good, I haven't even got to that yet!
ReplyDeleteYour work always looks good, but I admire you for challenging yourself to learn new techniques, even at the risk of messing up.
ReplyDeleteAwesome flowers Ann, very colorful and nice edges.
