Auction Update: "Well Traveled

 




"Well Traveled" 
(Watercolors, Project Notes)

 Last night I was finalizing my notes for an upcoming painting, which will be auctioned to benefit a local senior gym. Annually the senior gym has what they call their "Homecoming". Homecoming is an opportunity for all the gym participants and their family, to come for a fun evening of food and drinks. 

I want to play off the word homecoming or "coming home". Face it, we all travel our own destined paths. Along the way we walk, run, climb, dodge, and trudge, sometimes every day. We finally feel at home when we can slip off our well traveled shoes on the welcome mat, and walk in where it's dry and warm.

Side Note: IT'S MUD ON THE SHOE.

"Frozen Grapes"


"Frozen Grapes" (2015)


"Frozen Grapes"

(Acrylics, 18 x 24)




I was looking for something random to paint last night, so I went freezer diving. It's amazing what you can find at the back of your freezer! ;) Wasn't too concerned with the subject. What caught my eye was the colors and consistency of the frozen grapes, and the ice that developed on the grapes. Great snack as well! :)
