It's always satisfying to say "Yes! It's done!" I have to laugh at these 2 little guys as they are so small yet I feel like I stared at them for months (I did).
I hadn't painted on aquaboard before so the surface is quite different from canvas or canvas panel. These are more like painted sketches to me. The horizon painting also includes iridescent ink which doesn't quite come across in the photo. I settled on the title Morning Light but think it could also be the sunset at dusk over a deep blue lake. Vigil reminded me of a crowd gathering...and the yellow above them were the candles held in reflection.
I love this last panel! Sooooo many colors! It went through several variations where I kept trying to make one or two colors more dominant but I ended up letting each pop where it needed to. And then as happens a lot with me...I started seeing plants and flower shapes.
Also, if you are in the (north) Austin area, you can visit my piece "Cold Sleep" at The Big Show juried by Round Rock Arts. Click on link for address and hours. Doesn't she look pretty? ;0) She'll be hanging there until 8/28.
