The Birth of a Painting: Bubbling Serenity

Dear Readers, I wanted to take a break from working on my Etsy Sale (See posts below), to show you the process involved in creating one of my most popular paintings, Bubbling Serenity. It is basically self explanatory, so I will just show you the story in pictures…

….And once I had the arrangement worked out, the “puzzle” was as I wanted it, I took these photographs, and worked from them to complete the painting…Tada!

Many of the places I paint don’t exist- they aren’t really places at all, but they are a world I have created myself by putting together parts of many different plasces that I love…a tree from here, a waterfall from there…its my own little world. I hope this inspires you today!
