I always feel guilty if I take a day off from painting, and I've taken THREE days off!! So, I've been doing a lot of painting today, and this is one of the ones I finished. It started out as an experiment; then I really liked where it was going, so this is one of my few experiments that I decided to finish. It's done on Yupo paper, which is a synthetic, slick paper. It forces me to stay loose because the paint does pretty much what it wants to, unless you REALLY work at it. I like this splashy, carefree look, and I hope to do more along these lines!

PS - My days off entailed going up to the mountains to relax at Grove Park Spa, catch a horse show in Blowing Rock, and explore. My perfect vacation includes good friends...

Beautiful painting...beautiful friends, and awesome vacation...
I haven't been up to Grove Park Inn in about 18 years; is the Spa a new part of that?
DJ - The spa is newer than the original hotel, but I'm not sure when it was built. It's definitely worth the $80 day pass! There are three pools, two hot tubs, a dry heat room, a sauna, munchies, and a gorgeous view of the mountains!
Intriguing one, Rachel. Beautifully done. Thanks for sharing your vacation photos, too. :)
We all deserve time off! and what a way to enjoy it. I love the way this painting turned out. I so enjoy the way you've just allowed it to 'be'.
Beautiful painting :-)
