This year is the year of original work. I am getting away from copying the masters. I want to capture my own life in a similar manner to Monet. The people he painted were his family. The scenery was near where he lives. It isn't enough for me to just paint pretty pictures.. I want my art to mean something; even if it's meaning is only known to my family.
It is different having to put something together that might not lend itself to canvas. Part of the fun is trying NOT to make it exactly like the photo. I don't want a copy of my photo. I want a painting. I operate my life off a 'simple is better' mentality and painting is no exception for me. I want to leave a little to the imagination.
I hope you enjoy this painted moment in time as much as my daughters did in real life.
