Before the day is gone!

I better post before another day is gone. This past weekend went to fast! We didn't seem to do much, but were too busy. By the time I turned around it was time to go to bed again.

I have been painting  and painting every time I have a chance. Isn't it funny how sometimes you never know when a painting is done, and some other times you know exactly the moment that it is finished?
Usually I have an idea of what I want for my paintings, but now that I am starting without a sketch, things are wild! I am obsessed with detail and tiny brushes, but I wanted to get my brush strokes more loose, so no pencil sketch for me and only large brushes. I have to say.... it is scary! :o)

Between other projects, I am participating in a collaborative painting group. I am shipping mine today to FL and I will post when I get one and what I do to it. SO exciting!

I know, it looks crazy! This is only the base colors to build from there... who knows how it is going to look at the end! I added some more mix media work to my flickr. I would LOVE to hear some opinions, so feel free to post there, or here :o)

    My hubby is always telling me to 'use the big brushes' but I'm worried about using up all my supplies LOL!! Martha I love the free flow of the pieces & the gorgeous jumble of rich colour & media, my opinion... (other than it looks great), is I can't wait to see what happens :)

    I like the vibrant yellow, green, and red mixed with the more neutral brown/gold/black. Bold and classy at the same time.

    Makes me hungry for cherries, though. :~P

    Looks great so far! I need to get back into painting soon. My paints are all currently packed until I move, not sure when that will happen yet but I'm preparing ahead of time!

    I love your mixed media piece, Martha. I have never visited your blog before, just clicked on your icon on my sister's (Marlene's Musings) page.
    And, I NEVER know when I'm done with a piece! I even painted on a painting that I had done and had hanging on my wall for a year.
