I am enjoying landscape painting so much.  It is partly because the Finetec waterolors that I use.  They are so incredibly beautiful....ssooooo beautiful.....each stroke is a stroke of LOVE....... www.lindahuntfineart.com

The painting above and newly listed are painted with Finetec watercolors.  The paper used is a black watercolor paper and because the paint is shimmery there is a beautiful low shimmer to all of the paint.  It is lovely and I am wholly captivated by it.  The paint is a formation of mica which is ground to a very fine powder which is then mixed with pigment and the binder is gum arabic.  It is a very simple mixture and in its' simplicity is very elegant.  There is a limited palette of colors but enough to produce a wide avariance of colorful paintings.  Above in the title the title of each piece is listed in the decending order.  All paintings are for sale on my website..... www.lindahuntfineart.com

I have been busy working with my new mica color infused waterolours.  They are so much fun.....it really doesn't show the shimmer over the internet....but they really shimmer and sparkle.

I revisited this painting and now I love it.....12"x12" on board.....oil

This oil painting and oil crayon with graphite is painted on a panel and is 12"x 12"x 1/8".  I am moving right along in my class and enjoying it very much.  In many ways I feel as though I have come home.

With this abstract what I was working with was color and mark making.  I like how it cam out and am excited to continue.....the class has given me guidelines to kind of follow.....greatclass....by Mark Daniel Nelson......look him up....fabulous teacher and artist.

This weeks assignment in my abstract class was to create using geometric shapes and forms.  This is paper (color aid) paper on a wooden support.  I will fix the paper with some kind of protective finish yet to be figured out.  This abstract stuff feels right at home to me.  Loving it.....

Almost lost the value structure.....whew....I really had to work with this one...I like it though....

Reworked this painting and am greatly pleased with the result.When do you know when a painting is done.  I used to have an instructor in school that said "when a painting breathes on its own...you know the painting is done."  I think you can just feel it when it is complete........... The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched - they must be felt with the heart. Helen Keller

This is a paper painting ..... Color aid papers, beads, specialty glitter paper, origami paper, glue....now eventually I want to translate this into oil and mixed media.....I began this process with several detailed drawings.

The greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it. Moliere 

My objective today was to work as quickly and objectively as possible and paint an image that felt, smelled, and tasted like a pomegranate.  Rendering what I saw was really secondarily an goal.  It was hard because I had to stay in the moment as much as possible. Adopting the right attitude can convert a negative stress into a positive one. Hans Selye
