'The Triplets' - *** Painting #100 ***

4/29/23 'The Triplets'

Springtime means busy time outside for a couple weeks for me doing garden prep and general cleanup (My 850 garlic are looking wonderful and are about 12" tall). As a result my painting (and viewing of this page) slowed way down this month. I did manage to complete 4 paintings the last few weeks, #s 97, 98, 99, and 100. Once I post the 4 paintings, I'll spend a couple hours looking and commenting on all the great artwork you all have posted over the last few weeks.

Well, here we are ... Painting #100 !!!!

Let's call this one a Justin Wozniak inspired painting. I really like that guy, I hope he starts posting again soon.

I wanted to try a wider canvas for my 100th so this 18x30 canvas volunteered. I feel the element of BR paintings that I seem to have the best results with are mountains, so I wanted them to be the focal point of my painting. I am happy with the way this turned out. The idea was to be looking out over the trees 'The Triplets'. Not sure the trees came out that well, but they are acceptable to me.

If you got this far reading my post, thank you. Now for a bit of self reflection after 100 paintings. I have come to realize that painting does not come naturally to me, which is not a surprise to me. The way around that is practice, practice, practice which I do try to achieve. I feel like I should be further along artistically by this point, but I am not discouraged at all. I do enjoy painting and will keep at it. I do find that I enjoy the process much better when I am not rushing.

18" x 30" canvas. As always, your comments and suggestions (especially suggestions) are desired and welcome.
