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!
This is a detail viewPS - 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...
Gorgeous places...(note waterfalls falling from above)
Funny dogs...
And no Rachel vacation is complete without some beautiful horses...
Beautiful painting...beautiful friends, and awesome vacation...
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteIntriguing one, Rachel. Beautifully done. Thanks for sharing your vacation photos, too. :)
