Missing the Autumn

My palette here in Florida is soooo different from the colors I’d been using for years in the Berkshires. This picture sort of popped in as I was studying up on palm trees and tropical sky. I do miss the change of seasons.andreafeldmanstudio.blogspot.com

Missing

This week’s blog prompt is ‘Missing’ I’m enjoying painting sky and beach, but when I finished this picture, I felt like I was forgetting something. I’ve been here in Florida for almost three months, but it hasn’t quite sunk in yet that we’re not going back to the Berkshires. We live here now! We are not on vacation.

Free and Easy? Not!

For me, when I’m in flow; when I paint with a sure hand, when I just take delight in the process. That is how I would describe a piece as ‘free and easy’, which is this week’s blog prompt.

While I did enjoy painting this path to the beach, I struggled with it and as a result, it looks dark and heavy. I may try it again, now that I learned a thing or two.

Watercolor

Wow! It’s been a long time since I’ve posted. I’m thinking that I’d like to continue to share my creative process. I’m always in a place of discovery, but especially now since I’ve relocated to Florida just a few weeks ago. The tropical environment is radically different. And the skies are so huge and so beautiful. I’ve been awed by the sunrise and sunset. The clouds are amazing. I’ve been taking lots of photos and now experimenting with watercolor on paper to capture what I see.
