Painting a Day - A Fun New Experiment
I am going to try something a little new. After all I have titled my blog Creative Thoughts, so what better thing to talk about and way to gain more creative thoughts than a daily painting?
For 2022, I am trying something new and getting in my studio first thing in the morning to paint for about an hour (if it takes that long) to paint a small piece of art. It all started with this painting. Shooting for something to use for small Valentine's inspired ideas, this came up. I have a template for scrapbooking that has a pretty scalloped heart and I started there. From that, came a gorgeous sunrise. I did take it a bit further and cut out the scalloped mat to add to the impression of looking through a window that has been cut out and edged in gold to mimic the gold outline of the actual painting.
The whole thing brings to mind looking through a space where the wall has been cut away and the gorgeous sunrise is exposed behind it. An opportunity to see the beauty in the world that was hidden behind a barrier.
I have always had a tendency to paint small, but this validates doing so. I only have so much time set aside right now to get my creative juices going in the morning. If I do decide I have more time that day, then I will add in some bigger pieces, but will do at least one small one.
