Daily Painting Sept 2017 :: No. 8 of 30

It took eight days for me to get back to the marsh. It's one of my favorite favorite places to be.

The more I paint, the more I enjoy taking risks and chances with my paintings, especially when the works are small. They aren't as precious and decisions stand out.

I need to do more of this on a larger scale!

Daily Painting Sept 2017 :: No. 4 of 30

When people ask where my paintings are from I am sometimes specific and sometimes vague. Many times the work can be from anywhere. The prior paintings of the #30in30 were of a typical imagined English countryside. Now where is today's painting from?

It'd be nice to say it's from my imagination, and while it sort of is, it is inspired by my glorious neighborhood. Living with nearly 200 acres of conservation land is an inspiring gift, and one that I count my blessings for every day.

 Queen Anne's Lace is in bloom now. It's the tail end of a long season of the wildflower. This year was magnificent. I'll need to buy a giant canvas and really do some of my photos and memories justice.

If you're on Instagram follow me @kimweineck and scroll back to see. I'm sure you'll find a lot of the neighborhood field. It's a sacred spot for me.

Daily Painting Sept 2017 :: No. 3 of 30

With each painting I learn new things - it's the best way to paint. The space in a painting is different than photographs, and it's fun to be the one manipulating the space by playing with color, line, and composition.

This is the third in the imagined landscape of the English countryside. I love this palette! I'm having fun.
