My Next Painting...
I wanted to give you a glimpse into my next painting. I will be sharing with you weekly updates as I create it. I'll even go out on a limb and share the mistakes that I make as I go.
It's 20" x 80" and is a scene of the sun setting from Newport Coast in California. I saw this scene as I was driving on the 73 tollroad one evening. The sun was setting after raining that day. So, there were some beautiful clouds in the sky. The visibility was great too as I could see all the way to the Palos Verde peninsula. The scene was breath-taking! I know the initial stage of this painting doesn't look very pretty; but with enough work, it will evolve into something beautiful.
Unfortunately, I didn't have a camera with me, and I haven't seen the same sight since. It truly was a rare sight! So, I am going to try to capture on canvas what I remember of that sight. For a realistic painter like myself, this will be extremely difficult.
So, stay tuned over the next few months as I share updates on this painting...

Michelle, those initial painting stages can look pretty scary! But, I can't wait to see you make it beautiful. That's a huge painting to tackle, looking forward to updates.
Michelle, I appreciate you courage. I am trying to muster the courage to put up an unfinished piece. Maybe you are setting the pace.
