I just received Robert Burridge's workbook and his "Goof-proof Color Wheel" in the mail. I love his thoughts on being a painter and letting go. He covers the all the emotions that I go through and actually validates them. That's a good thing for me. He says we never really "arrive"--it is a constant reinventing of our "style" by practice and creativity. I am looking forward to taking his workshop in February. This one is back to a 5x7 because I painted it in my little "closet" studio here at home. I have some 5x7 pieces of prepared paper ready to go. I think the colors appeal to me. I have my niece and her three precious ones coming into town this weekend so I won't be able to post but I am thinking about something which I will do next week. Have a great weekend everyone!

beautiful Martha. okay, are you using heavy bodied acrylics, and do you water them down a bit? when Bob paints his paint seems to just flow.
Love it--this one exudes confidence!
Martha, I'm really enjoying your new freedom of strokes. Go girl!
Hi Martha, I love your flowers and the energy of the piece! ♥
love it....funny, i thought about doing that work shop with him also...my daughter lives in orlando and i could visit there for awhile and go on down to the workshop......hmmmm...
I love the colors in this one. It is alive!
Whoa! You are lookin' free and having fun now and it shows in this painting. Nice going girl!
i think you've definitely got it.....this is fantastic! i love these colors, too.....rich and yummy! and i don't know if that makes me too happy to hear that we never really "arrive".....i was counting on having a nice drinkie and a pan of brownies to celebrate!! xoxo
your newest paintings are really beautiful. Very post-impressionist with your use of color and texture like Van Gogh! I just love it!
I love the loose, luscious free strokes that suggest flowers and the colors that evoke a hot summer day. Very pleasing to the visual center in my brain. The record of your human motions captured in the paint is a welcome break from machine captured / manipulated images. Thank you for sharing it.
