Painting--A-Day: March 7, 2013

March 7, '13 , Acrylic on Gessobord (3/4" birch sides) 12" x 12" Ready-to-Hang

One of the things you learn as a working artist, is to be gentle with yourself. If you try to push, when the idea isn't there...it only causes anxiety. Anxiety=mind block. Today I painted a 12x12" because: 1) I needed to clean my palette, literally and figuratively, 2) my creative mind wasn't ready for painting #3 for the Buxtehude project, and 3) I saw some beautiful landscapes on my drive down to see my mom in Decorah, IA. I needed some restorative painting joy because the commissioned paintings take a lot of emotional energy. They are a puzzle to be solved. I have been carrying today's painting around in my heart and mind since last weekend. Some find this time of year in the north country as drab and ugly. But there is a real beauty in the stark landscapes...deep browns, muted golds and white snows that reflect whatever mood the sky is in that day. My winter landscape today emphasizes the blue grays, deep browns and golds sneaking out above the snow. What really caught my eye was the bright yellow white sliver of snow with which the sun kissed the land. 
Remember, if you like the look you see here...the painting is so much better!
