Leaf it to me.

I have been waiting for the next big thing to come to me so I could paint it.    In the meantime, I puttered around painting a little of this and a little of that...

I have been looking at the fig tree out the back, now that the leaves are gone, and admiring the wavy lines and curls of the branches.

I stand at the sink when I am washing out my paint brushes and look out the back at this view.   
Well, that view took shape and color on canvas....

Now, I know this does not "look" like the fig tree, but it is totally inspired by the fig tree!

Another background in progress...

One of the great things about being an artist, is that I can think of something and then just do it!   I wondered what a version of the fig tree would look like in a very muted palette.   Well, Heck!   I can just DO THAT! 


 It is not the same thing as wondering about if I can fly a plane. I cannot.


 I can actually think of something tangible and make it happen! I have that magic in me!   oooh!  

Everyday, I reach into the unknown and unseen and bring it to canvas.     


I am humbled and amazed.


Thanks for checking in on my doings!


Happy New Year.
