Worked on a two hour study in the studio that was a total wipeout yesterday. I find it easier to paint from life than photos! Something spontaneous happens while painting plein air, captures the "momment" like nothing else can.

"Paint faster, Stupid!"...Thanks, Kellie! "Paint faster, Stupid!" After my friend's artist aunt died, the quote was found on the inside of the inherited paintbox. We laughed because it makes so much sense. And I like it inside my box because it reminds me not to think too much... just loosen up and slap that brush around. Don't be afraid... it's only paint.Diane Mannionhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924786746616492084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-462443774252872406.post-80176158353501052112013-03-09T13:05:44.013-08:002013-03-09T13:05:44.013-08:00You stopped at just the right time!
