Days 7 and 8- Hide and Seek, and Lofty Story

Hide And Seek
8x10 oil on stretched canvas



This painting was like playing with a friend who knows all your good hiding places. A challenge, but fun!


Lofty Story
11x14 oil on stretched canvas
 

Painting this was like following the thread of someone’s complicated tale. I squinted and kept nodding in encouragement. I used several tools to apply the paint and at first fought with the silhouette that kept being like an animal's shape. Once I conquered that, I wanted to see some lyrical lines to counterbalance the heaviness. The white line helped me breathe better.
