Dandelions

"Dandelions".... this is a painting I did approximately a year ago.  I was playing around with acrylic paint and using rubbing alcohol to create an interesting background.  Where I dripped the alcohol, the paint dispersed and it left little round shapes that reminded me of dandelion fluff.  Out of that, came the idea for this painting.  

I was able to borrow it back from the lovely lady who purchased it and i am taking it down to Penticton (along with 3 new paintings),  to get photographed, and to get some prints made.  Two of my siblings have requested prints.  

I'm excited about all the upcoming events.... Pop-Up Gallery in Kamloops, Art in the Park (also in Kamloops), the Sunday Farmer's Market in Sun Peaks, Art Walk in Merritt and also in Williams Lake.  I hope I have time to paint.  Sometimes I'm feeling like my thoughts are scattered in too many directions....I like the focused feeling I experience when I paint.  I'm able to totally tune out the world.  It is very peaceful.  However, I am going to look at the busy-ness of the next week as a chance to get inspired further.  The drive down to Kelowna/Penticton alone is inspiring, and while I'm in Kelowna I can check out some galleries.  Then when I get back to Sun Peaks...... I can paint again.  :)

Appreciate you reading and sharing your story since I can certainly relate and I thiSDCnk others can to
