26 x 11 oil on panel
This was a 'getting back on the horse' exercise today. I've got my studio set up back where I had it before, which really doesn't have the greatest natural light at this point in time. I found that if I stood in the family room looking into it (the family room having super bright natural light) that I could really see my palette and I was able to focus and get after it. It will all work out but ideally I would just take over the entire family room for my studio! I'm sure no one in this house would have a problem with that. :-)
We watched the old Kirk Douglas/Anthony Quinn movie about Van Gogh last night. I had never seen it before and it got me all inspired to get my rear in gear today. Thanks, Kirk! I also found out I got in the Plein Air Austin juried exhibition next month (reception is Oct. 16th, 2 to 4 in the Chase Bank Building). First time I've entered this show so I was relieved not to be... r...r...rejected! Only entered one painting, the one of Boggy Creek Farm. I feel like things are looking up in my art world; I've had a really good year so far on painting sales. This could be my first year to qualify for paying taxes on my art income -- yikes! It helps that I have weaned myself off of giving paintings away. :-)

Camille, I Love how you captured the light hitting the tile floor...very nice and inviting. Congratulations and good luck in your juried show!
Oh, congratulations!!! I'm thrilled for you! I wish I could go! This is a beautiful painting, too, girl! You're on FIRE! - ooops, bad phrase in your area. Sorry! You're riding a big WAVE!
Really great composition on this.
Nice way to get back at it Camille. Glad to hear your beautiful art is selling, and you'll soon be helping your government even more than I'm sure you do now...ha!
By the way, I love listening to Scandalous while I'm painting. My best to your nephew Zach.
Thank you, Martine-Alison, Carol, Doug and Vern!
I love the way the light hits the tile floors...amazing! The subtle colors are wonderful, Camille! And of course, the best of luck in your juried show..great news.
Thanks so much, Hilda; I really enjoy painting the tiles for some reason. Kelley, your post just now showed up on here, sorry about that and thanks for all the nice things you said. We would Definitely Love a BIG WAVE to come here and wash all over us at this point in time!
