When love is involved paintings just come out better. I love cake and dream about frosting. I always eat the frosting first.
The big news is Peony Days is sold out for both Saturday and Sunday June 30th and July 1st. I will be hosting this event at the house and studio and there will be cake, friendship and demonstrations. What I have learned so far : Sometimes you have to create an event or make something happen . Waiting for the parade to pass by takes too long.

I am not saying this is super fun to do but it will improve your ability to see and compare value shapes.
What I have learned so far : It was pointed out to me this week that "something is not nothing". I think this is concept I wrap my head around. It is hard to see and feel progress but indeed producing something is a start at least. If you have not signed up for my Youtube channel yet please do it today. Here is a link Today is a good example of using complimentary colors ( red and green) to mix almost every color in this painting. This limited palette is made more cohesive by using Viridian green and Permanent Rose as the neutral shadows on the pitcher and the plate.
They make a lovely gray when they allow themselves to mix and mingle on the paper. What I have learned so far : Mass for Value Mix for Color is my new bumper sticker. I have it plastered in the front of my head when I am painting at all times. For more about this please join my Youtube channel Here I continue my quest to paint with as few strokes as possible and this tomato is a good example of that. Meanwhile the Peony Collage print is selling well . You can purchase yours here. Peony and Rose Print I also can make prints from any of the paintings you see on this website . The square sizes available are 12x12, 15x15 and 18x18. I think an 18x18 peony print framed to 24x24 would look fantastic on any wall any where.
Peony Days is scheduled for June 30th and July 1st , from 10am to 2pm. I have ordered 8 cakes so far but I think we are going to need more. I plan on having a "Groaning Table " of cake to go with our peony garden event. There are a few tickets left for Saturday but only one or two..Sunday has more openings right now. More later.....with love ...Jo I think this new concept of Mass for value, Mix for color may be a game changer. It is my way of painting but conceptualized to the barest essentials. To sign up for my Youtube channel please click here. The opposite of this is the upcoming Peony Day event . This is scheduled for June 30th and July 1st at my home. I am planning the dessert table now. You can purchase a ticket here and come and enjoy the peonies in my garden with me. Peony collage print will be available starting this week! More about that later.
