Lady Paints the Blues
Hey there,
You, me, Monday - we just need coffee! (or tea or hot chocolate - BIG VOTE for hot chocolate).
2009 has been my year of participation in the wacky thing they call LIFE. I heart it! I have embraced so much this year but especially my art - both paintings and photography. My website is my miniature gallery! www.chartreusemonkey.com and my latest creations are all about the blues -colours and emotions. You can still be happy and feel blue at times too. That's just being human! In case you're wondering, I am from this planet (or so they tell me!)
Lately I have been feeling a real connection to the colour blue. Maybe it is because I am a dreamer and stare up at the sky a lot. Perhaps it is because my boy's eyes are blue (Sir Jack the Siamese kitty cat) or even my own! My favourite clothes are blue jeans. Say, perhaps I should be the Azure Monkey! Naw....chartreuse is still my signature colour.
The majority of my paintings this year have been blue. Many have been sold (thank you!!), but I am hanging onto "Blue Zen" - that one has a story all it's own! Some are available now on my website and on Facebook - http://www.chartreusemonkey.com/Paintings_-_December__09.html - please email me if you have any questions at linda@chartreusemonkey.com - many thanks!
So about every 5 or 6 weeks, I head over to Curry's Art Store to buy more blue paints! I love seeing all the colours from all the various brands of acrylic paints. I would rather purchase the colour I want rather than make it. I tend to like pure colours and am always concerned that I won't make enough of the shade of blue needed and then I'll be in trouble! Or I will love the look of a certain painting done weeks prior and then not able to duplicate the colour. Ah for the life of an artist!
Perhaps in 2010, I will venture back into other colours again, OR I will let the blues have their day for awhile yet. We'll see.
Have a great Monday and hope to see you again tomorrow!
Linda
