Starting The Dam

Here is the start of The Dam. A fun semi-abstract painting! I'm planning on adding more texture but keep the colors subtle. I've been trying to find time to paint the past couple weeks but it just hasn't been possible. Next week I start working full-time so who knows when I'll have time!

12x16 Oil on stretched canvas

This is my first abstract painting and it came about simply because I hated my painting. I went to wipe it out completely or mostly and kind of liked the effect. Hence...this. I used a mixture of brushes, paper towels and my fingers. Painted from a photo I took in Charleston. Love that city!

The semester is over! I wanted to squeeze in a painting before my summer class takes up my time for another two weeks. But this painting was just a fun way to put some paint down. I didn't want to worry about the details. I just wanted to have fun! One thing I'm looking forward to this summer is having more time to paint. I want to paint a couple a week. It's fun to put them on here for people to see. I know I like seeing the creations of other people cause they are unique and represent everyone's personalities so much! So here's to summer, to vacations, to refreshment and renewing.

"Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life.
I'll show you how to take a real rest.
Walk with me and work with me--
watch how I do it.
Learn the unforced rhythms of grace.
I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you.
Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly"
