Painting the Landscape - Indoors
Published November 06, 2007 by L. Diane Johnson. 0 comments | Post a Comment |
LAST EVENING I participated in a church-wide event with over fifty business-to-business vendors, ranging from dentistry to photography. I had a free space to feature original paintings, but also delighted to paint live, front and center in the vast room. I had to use one of my photos to paint from as the lighting was low (and no trees or streams exist in a late-night conference :) Here is a pic of me starting the painting. And following...
Coming next...my trip to Creighton Island of last week. So many grand photos and paintings coming...stay tuned.

A GREAT WAY to start the new year of painting is a piece created from my visits to Monet's garden. This captures the quiet of the morning with the gardener's boat resting on a stairway framed with early Summer flowers. Hope you enjoy one of my favorite spots on the pond.I have several more of these pieces planned, but I will now turn to the sunflower series I began before the holidays. Will have some more to offer you soon!
