Tonight I had the pleasure of painting "An Evening of Kirtan Bliss" while at the Yoga Bliss Festival in Augusta! The music performed by Ananda Das was so beautiful on a higher level. To paint such a place filled with such music was bliss! I can't believe there are only two days of class left! Painting number 4595 in 4595 days.
It was a lovely evening to paint wedding memories, in such a beautiful place. The Root restaurant in Augusta hosted the wedding dinner, and this lovely table welcomed guests with the Bridal bouquet and memorial photo. How special is it to be part of such a meaningful celebration. Painting number 5124 in 5124 days.
Well, this isn't something I do everyday! Asked to abstractly capture the entertainment tonight, I pulled the smallest panels out of my car. What fun it was to quick paint dual paintings of dualing pianos playing at Crestview Dairy tonight! I'm always up for a plein air challenge, and this was a wonderful exercise in capturing the moment. Both were finished in just over an hour, and a fun momento of the evening. Painting number 3809 in 3809 days.
What a fabulous experience to paint the Country Club Plaza Lighting Ceremony from this vantage! From start to finish, it was such an amazing night!! The lights, music and merriment from the crowd was a delight to be a part of, and the acrobatics involved were really a hit! I thought one girl would soon be sailing into the audience from the force of being swung around so fast! Working larger - to fita 20x16 frame, I moved back and forth from inks to watercolor, once my composition was down. I painted the light masses first, adding more color as I worked, pushing the darks pretty quickly. It is important to establish that road map early, especially with so many wonderful distractions! I delivered this painting today to the Country Club Plaza, and I can't wait to see the next chapter to this story! Stay tuned! Painting number 4410 in 4410 days.
