30 Paintings in 30 Days: Day 8

Hi friends!

Today's abstract floral painting is itsy-bitsy. The size is 5x5 inches and 1.75 inches thick acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas. It's quite cute! I think it would look cool on a shelf with a collection of other nice bits; or sitting on a vanity with perfumes and such... I love the vintage inspired color palette. I think I'll have to paint these colors on a large canvas! I'm in love with that Peacock Blue paint! I'm having so much fun painting these whimsical florals! I feel so free and relaxed when I'm making them. I'm getting into the groove of what I most like to paint now! Painting every day has been a challenge with the kiddos around. (That's why I'm doing this though...to force myself to find a way!) Today I nearly didn't get to do it, but I stole a minute here and there. I find that if I plan out the painting in my head before I start, I can usually work on it layer by layer whenever I get a free moment or two. Eventually, it gets completed! Would I love to just sit and paint in one session? Absolutely! But, necessity calls for me to be more flexible with my expectations and find new ways to approach my work. Baby steps!
