Painting your view recap weeks 1-6

We are on Week 7 of painting your favorite places.

Since we are almost half way through the project, I thought this would be a good time for a recap.

Week one

The start - A daunting task to paint for 100 days, but seeing so many of you send me some amazing photos gave me excitement for what’s ahead.

Week Two

The mountains - a place to escape, relax, and replenish the soul. I find making art does a similar thing. You get can lost in the process.

Week Three

Painting an image that is a bit closer to home this week. A beautiful Lake Erie sunset. I was drawn to the colors in the photo as these are colors I have not painted with as much.

Week Four

This week was all about going a bit outside my comfort zone. The painting combines 2 photos and involves a Bison.

Week Five

“Golden Waves” This was the name on the photo that was sent to me. I am not great at coming up with names for paintings so having this already named was a wonderful excuse to paint this one. I was also drawn to the contrast of colors and textures

Week 6

A beacon shining it’s light during a storm, keeping others safe and sound. I felt like this lighthouse was a metaphor for what was happening in the world. As we started to see some light and some hope. I knew I had to paint this photo. And Forrest Gump ran to this point, can it get more inspiring?

Thank you for being part of this journey - Stay tuned for weeks 7-15
