At the moment I really have very small
Time windows.Most of you know why and because I haven't painted anything for some time and to create some distraction, I decided relatively quickly to bring something on the canvas.Not super complicated but I tried to get the lightness of summer back with this morning beach scene of a surf spot.I divided it into two sessions. Sky and palm trees after that the silhouettes /stencils that I plotted with the Cricut joy. There are also more colors than usual. Royal blue, violet, permanent orange, magenta, mauve, and other (screenshot is below.)I mixed titanium white with each color to get the super soft effect.I hope you like it and you can take the feeling with you into the day.

Canvas 24 x 30 cm (9,45 x 11,80 Inch) 2x white gesso grinded 240/400,liquid white .Time overall 2,5 hours,Vertorize stencils and plot 1.5 hours.

Greetings to Australia from Germany. I hope the weather is better with you than here.Thank you so much ,glad you like it . πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ

Thanks Dirk, it is early spring here.

I've heard of the brand "Cricut", but never really known what they do. I might have to look into them if they can make stencils this detailed.

Hi Regan, I have the Cricut joy . Sharp templates under 1 cm. Whether font, figures, logos and no matter what material. Vinyl, paper, cardboard, heat transfer foil etc. Small, mega precise and not too expensive here in EuropeπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ

Gorgeous my super friend! Love the pastels and the silhouettes contrasting. Welcome back behind the easel! 🎨

Hey my super friend, for my standards that was a quick shot, hardly time as you know but I try to use every minute. Thank you very much and feel embracedπŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ

You are more than welcome! πŸ€— For the little time you had, you made a β€œwow” composition! It shows your great skill levels! I am sure it felt good to paint something. This one is different and so beautiful! I’d def hang this lil gem! 😍

Your words honor me very much, Nancy and yes it was good to bring something to the canvas again.πŸ‘πŸΌπŸ‡©πŸ‡ͺ
