It's the last two weeks before the Artists Studio Tour and I'm pushing myself to complete a few new paintings! I'm also challenging myself to work with more colour and to loosen up in the texture I create. It's not always easy to let go, as much as I want to and tell others to! I'm really feeling the need for a teacher to help me to the next level. So while I work through the stages of becoming more confident with my medium I'll carry on painting pictures of what grabs me or moves me. Hopefully some of the mood and emotion comes through the layers of wax. Here's a picture I took last year of a tree at Rock Lake. It had previously lived its glorious life yet is was still anchored to the lake shore, other life growing all round it. I guess it's hard to let go sometimes.
