Two for one!
And no, the painting background is not orange on one end.
It is white, the lights in my studio throw a warm glow so as to not hurt my eyes.
Anyway, this was yesterday's painting.
I just simply was tired at the end of the day and forgot to post after 2 hours at Artwalk.
Playful dolphins are so much fun to paint.
I photographed these guys in separate shots while on a dolphin cruise out of Orange Beach.
We went about 10 years ago, and the photos have stood me well.
Did you know that dolphin's bellies go pink when they're happy?
Now you do!
They also go pink when, ahem, making baby dolphins.
Interesting facts that stay in my head this many years later.
This is today's painting.
I also have dozens of photos of blue crabs I've taken over the years.
My swipe files are pretty full as well.
Swipe files are photos from the internet that are free, photos from friends, and sometimes students.
I essentially have two file cabinets full of photos, drawings, and calendars.
It's an incredible amount of reference material to have at my fingertips.
My studio is full of them, and they are used frequently.
Today was a kind of relaxed day although I woke up out of sorts.
I didn't know what I wanted to do today, besides paint.
The grandson is staying the weekend, so I chose to spend time with him and Chris.
This puts me in the studio later in the day than I want to be.
I asked Chris to take care of dinner tonight and he did!
We had salads with smoked chicken and a delicious piece of cake someone made for me.
We got the cake Wednesday night after service, and it was gluten free!
It was also incredibly tasty!
Multiple layers with raspberry filling and a strawberry on top!
We have frozen some for a later date.
Took grandson for ice cream, and I went back to the studio.
Now I'm done for today and yesterday.
