Off to the grocery store for inspiration. I gave myself the assignment of finding "something" to inspire me at the grocery store. Just think of all the visual offerings, a medley of shapes and colors. A veritable delicatessen for the senses. My original intent was to find a beautiful flower for inspiration, but was drawn to the produce department. I found these gorgeous, succulent tomatoes on the vine, brought them home and proceeded with a photo shoot. After well over a week, my daughter looked at me (yes, with that look only a daughter can give to a mother who might be going a little crazy) and informed me that it was time to throw the (only slightly) rotting tomatoes away. I had to agree. I had so hoped to finish the painting while the fruit was still in attendance. But I have my photos. In keeping my time frame somewhat chronological, the shopping and photo shoot took place in mid-March.
No, the painting is not finished yet. Not even started, actually. But this is all part of the process and I am committed to putting paint to canvas. I just keep getting other inspirations and they just seem to elbow their way and crowd to the front of the line. Stay posted for my progress on this one.
