Now that the long hot days of summer are upon us in Florida, my muse has returned with a vengeance, wonderful one at that! She has me up night and day translating what is in my head, like a paintbrush gone mad. All the images and sights from France are tumbling out, and a few others in between. I am filled with inspiration and ideas, thinking of color and shapes most of the time when life doesn't interrupt me- phone calls, forms to fill out, grocery shopping, feed myself- all the mundane tasks I still have to do. Any personal assistants available? Here's a recently finished painting in its stages, from a watercolor sketch to a rough draw to a few stages of progression. These are lemons that were on a table at our hotel outside of Nice. The lighting was perfect, the composition divine and even the background was mysterious and subtle. finished size 36x35.
