Lately Ive been all over the place - going from one thing to the next, trying to figure out what it is I want to paint ...or DO for that matter.
It happens.
So what do you do when this occurs? Taking a break helps, a change of scenery helps
But then keep going, and keep doing.
Or in my case keep painting.
Painting is the one thing that I know I WANT to do - its the 'what kind of painter' that Ive been struggling with.
Sometimes after pushing through something good comes of it - a spark of an idea that excites.
This painting is that for me - this is something I can get excited about right now.
Rock on.
Here it is in its new home - my mothers blue living room. Btw - how cool is it that my Mom had the guts to paint her room this color??
Still needs a frame (something simple) but it sings against those walls AND my mother loves barn swallows so we're all happy

Debbie,
This is a beautiful painting. I love how there are layers of birds, yet a simple design. You're right, too, it looks GREAT on your mom's wall!
You are doing lovely work.
Great painting, Debbie! I think it's good that you are all over the place-I feel that way with my painting a lot of the time but sometimes the restlessness is uncomfortable. I saw that gorgeous painting in House Beautiful and went crazy over it-I couldn't find out the artist either. I love the way you did your barn swallows and it really looks terrific on that blue wall.
