Do you ever
embrace the rain when out for a walk? I
did on Monday. I got soaked, but it was
wonderful. The rain was so heavy I could
have put my tongue out and had a drink! When I got home my hair was like rat tails and
water was dripping off me and made a great puddle. But oh I felt so refreshed. Crazy eh!
I just had to do this watercolour.
(I wish I was as lovely as this beauty when soaking wet, lol!)
The next
piece is a WIP, I have had this canvas 30cm x 60cm for ages and had started to
do the background in acrylic but had got no further.
On Tuesday
I dragged it out and added more layers and used gesso to suggest a figure on
the left. I have been adding to it every
day. But, now I have got to the stage of
not knowing where to go next. Is it
finished? Do I add some text?
I quite
like it as it is, it there is still a niggle.
The girl is meant to be holding a flower maybe I could add a flower on
the right? However, I won’t do anything
to it for at least a week. In fact I
will turn it to the wall and hopefully next week when I will look at it again
the answer will come to me.
I will post
the finished piece I promise!
Have a lovely week and thanks for visiting.
I am linking as usual to Paint Party Friday,
hosted by Eva and Kristin. Head over
there as there are some amazing artists taking part.
Nice work, will wait to see what you end up doing with it!
ReplyDeleteLovely sense of mood and expression. Looks great!
ReplyDeleteLovely work, such gorgeous, fresh colours! Hugs, Valerie
ReplyDeleteOh, that rain painting is awesome, you can see how rain drops caress her skin! Marvelous work.
ReplyDeleteWatercolors are demanding, but you know how to deal with them!
It's early morning in Finland and we have such a fog here, I can see the air move in the light of the street lamps, beautiful.
Loving the wonderful girl in the rain, wow thats great. I love your next painting as it is Sharon. Happy PPF, Annette x

I think a little bit of text or a bird flying across the page...I know, it is sometimes so hard to know when you are done. But you could just be finished...your page is fabulous. (And she is gorgeous).
ReplyDeleteThe picture dieFrau in the rain is wonderful. Nice experience with the raindrops. The picture with the girl I am curious what at the end originates.
ReplyDeleteDear greeting Elke
I am amazed at the effect you get with watercolour. The colours are so vibrant. I love the way her mascara is running. Can't wait to see the finished WIP
ReplyDeleteBeautiful portrait! Love the colors. :)
ReplyDeleteYou've caught the wetness so well, along with her black and turquoise hair and her yellow wet clothes.
ReplyDeleteI'll be interested to see what you do with your second painting. I can see a bird on the right with a dark eye and wings outstretched.
Love your new painting...how about tumbling rose petals falling from it on the other side... You always use such beautiful course in your backgrounds and they have a lovely translucent clarity.
ReplyDeleteDon't turn it to the wall. Catching a glimpse of it everytime you walk past often helps to find out what's missing. At least, with me it works that way. Your first painting is so beautiful. amazing how you managed to capture that feeling of rain. Second one is looking great already, the flower might be a perfect addition .... I see a bird looking straight at her and trying to take the flower she's holding .... :-)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful work Sharon. I do hope you post the finished piece. Will look forward to it.
ReplyDeletebeautiful and ethereal faces Sharon!
ReplyDeleteYour work is so unique and beautiful!!!
ReplyDeleteSmiles, Saskia :)
We love the rain you speak of....my daughter has been known to run outside when it rains like that, it's her favorite!! That first lady could be me if she had brown eyes...
ReplyDeleteGorgeous artwork...always love your colour and style!
Hugs Giggles
There is so much colour and life here, it pops and dances, fabulous work!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful artwork, Sharon. I love the rain too. I am sure I wouldn't look that good drenching wet, though.
ReplyDeleteYour watercolour girl is fantastic, you can see and feel the drops and wet. I like it very much. The other painting could be fineshed, but we´ll see, what you find to do with it, Have a nice time!
ReplyDeleteI LoVe the rain. The sound on the roof. Walking with it during temperate weather. How it tends to hold me indoors, slow me down. It's Good Medicine. :)
ReplyDeleteAnd I love your work in progress ~ super background and that figure emerging ~ wonderful!
The rain gal has a great expression on her face. Excellent. I absolutely am in love with the abstract. . . can't wait to see the finished piece. Blessings, Janet PPF
