Women in Red # 13. Or maybe I should say Women in wee bit o’red. Perhaps they’re dreaming of summer. What do you think?

One of my FB friends (shout out to you, Miss Amie!) has shared her fascination of the stories behind these images, the relationships between the players. With the exception of Women in Red # 11, none of these paintings were created with a backstory in my mind.

My conscious mind. Subconscious, (shrug) who knows?

So I’ve got an idea. If any of these images bring up an emotion or a story in your mind, like ummm…these are a couple of Russian ladies about to take a mid-winter dip in the River Volga, share your story in the comments below. I’d love to hear what y’all have to say. That’s a Yankee y’all, by the way.

And maybe someday I’ll share what motivated me to paint this.

XO sweetums. See you tomorrow!

30 Paintings 30 Days, Day 10

Sometimes I’ll spend hours writing a blog post. I’ll work over that sucker till I’m sweating cyber blood, pulling cyber teeth, mixing metaphors and cliches like there’s no tomorrow.

I do it in the name of literary perfection. And whenever I write something like that, it sucks.

Happens with art too, like that painting over there (arrow pointing RIGHT and UP)

But then at the last minute, before I hit the publish button, I’ll open a new draft and write what I meant to say with a whole ‘nother voice. With MY voice. The words are fresh and come easy-peasy with no inner critic tripping up da muse.

Happens with art too, like this painting (arrow pointing straight DOWN)

I LOVE it when that happens.

Be back tomorrow with another painting. Meanwhile, I love to hearing what you have to say in the comments below.

Women in Red # 2

Whoo-hoo! Off and running with the  30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge. If you saw my post from yesterday (and if you haven’t then stop right now and check it out) you know that I’m doing this on my iPad because I’m too lazy to clean the studio  a brave digital adventuress. Yes, I AM all that and more.

I’m also rambling so let’s just cut to the chase and show some art.

Here it is, Digital Daily #2,  AKA Women in Red # 2.

As always, if you like what you see please share with your friends. And do tell me what you think in the comments below. Because I care what you think, I really do. But mostly because comments are right up there with chocolate.

And you know how I feel about that!
