Okay, you asked for it...

Well, maybe you didn't actually ask for it, but, you did say "Go for it" ...  and, it's raining and only +8C today, so I can't go golfing.  I had a tee time for 9:16 this morning, so I was kind of pouting ...and then... wondering what I could do that wasn't vacuuming, laundry or even baking ..although, baking is my hobby ...and, you know I love to do that.... but, anyway, all of a sudden I was searching for paint.

I know I don't have any oil paints...but, found some acrylics!  Hey! Who knew?  Well, actually I did remember that I had some but I don't really know when I last used any and had to hunt for them .. ....hmmmm..oh, maybe for painting doll's shoes...yep....that was it.... but, haven't made a doll since about '09 ....

Duane would probably have a laugh...but, hey, I kinda like my first attempt at some modern art stuff.

Look at the pretty brushes ... and, all of a sudden I'm thinking why don't I just get a photo of these enlarged and use it somewhere?

I found some small canvases I bought for the latest little art classes I did online...they are only 6 x 8 inches...but, it sort of gives a person the idea for how it could be accomplished I think.

What fun putting on some colour!   Here is my first attempt.

Here is Duane's picture that I like.. well, one of them... and, hey, did you notice that he came to my blog and left a comment?  How did he know that I had posted one of his works I wonder?  He must have spies.... hi Duane if you come back... I love your work...

When you see them together, you can see that there are more ... uh.... layers, and more colours, and more of everything really...but, like I said ...it is my first attempt...and, it sort of gives you the idea of how it could be accomplished.  Not to say that it would ever be quite the result but, ..just sayin'....

I love how the paint tray looks too.... ...

Okay...now I really do have to do some cleaning.......................but, I better start with the almost dried on mess on the tray...........

I want one!!!

A big, beautiful painting.....just like this one.  Same colours and everything!  It would look perfect on my new wall colour...

Duane Cregger.  That's the artist.  Saw this on a blog that I go to regularly.  I can't afford his paintings... but, if I ever see a worthwhile print... I'll buy it.  Maybe I should write him and ask about prints of his works.  I've only seen 3 of his paintings offered as prints on an art-for-sale site, ... and, well...they aren't for me at all...but these .... these are for me!!  He's changed his palette over the years ...

Maybe I should get some oil paints and just buy a big stretched canvas and see if I can smear on some pretty colours myself .... how hard can it be?  He claims he doesn't even know what he is doing or that he is doing it when he paints...uhm, yeh...right...

Failing that ..... how about you artists out there doing one or two ..in these colours....and maybe I can buy one from you instead?

Something about 40 x 60 inches or so .........or .... two paintings about half that size ......   for a big empty wall I have ... my furniture is pale grey blue and two different shades of teal ..... the wall is Russian Olive ... a soft grey green... can you imagine one of those on it? .... oh, yeh..... I can..... I love these colours!
