mysterious blues

Untitled, 2ft x 4ft, acrylics on canvas by Trish Taylor.
Finally got to finish this one after being sick again for past days. The flu is everywhere and you can get it twice in 2 weeks.
Love the deep mysterious blue and added some copper too.

Thank you dear!

new work in progress...


Sometimes a painting just doesn't work. It won't flow... so I repaint the whole thing. Someone told me to not get too attached to my art. If you destroy it, it's okay. Practicing detachment at overcoming fear of destroying something nice. Process of painting is a wonderful teacher.

New Year, hello 2018!

What a fun night! We had no plans and were still recovering from the flu and spontaneously we decided to meet my husband's cousin and his wife at the old Genoa Bar. We stayed passed midnight, listening to live music and having drinks outside near the firepit. The bar was so full and packed, it took us almost half an hour to get a drink but the atmosphere was awesome. We had a smooth slide into 2018 and I wish everyone a great and blessed 2018!
Cheers!

Added copper acrylics to this small painting too. I love the process of experimenting with new color combination.

Late afternoon after 10 hours on the road, heading to Minden NV for New Years, December 2017. Love the contrasting colors of those landscapes.
