I am posting an abstract acrylic painting done recently. It is a real reduction of "busy-ness" into a simplified design. I am enjoying doing these simplified big shapes with few details. One of my artist friends who is a more realistic painter and a detail person said she liked it, so I took that as a real comliment! My website recommendation for the day is http://www.emptyeasel.com/. This is a great website for technical information and inspiration.

Finishing
After having a few days away from home, I am inspired and excited to get back to work on paintings. Getting a painting finished is the hardest part for me; I can start a painting easily and get almost done, but the finish is hard! I always let paintings sit for a while and come back later to reevaluate, and I have a stack of unfinished work! I have set the goal for this summer to go through the stacks and either finish or throw out, and I am actually enjoying this. My studio is looking better! Moving towards abstraction is still the pull I am feeling, and I am finding myself more satisfied with what I might have considered unfinished in the past. I am attaching one painting which is an abstract landscape, and I do think it says all it needs to. My website recommendation for today is http://www.dailypainters.com/. I look forward to seeing this site everyday as it always shows wonderful work from wonderful artists.
