Laying on the greens...I scooped them out of the pots with one of my bigger palette knives and, practising randomness, I blobbed them about...different greens (7 in all), different sized blobs and squirts...4 of the greens from pots and 3 from tubes...
Then, using a tongue depressor that I bent over about 3/4" from the end...it actually splintered so I taped it to keep the end from falling off...so I had an L shape...I used the small part to dabble the paint around...I am going to have to find a tool that is this shape...in a couple different sizes...once the greens were mixed the way I wanted them, using paint from tubes, I squirted on the red, orange and yellow...practising randomness once more...
Then, bending over the other end of the tongue depressor, I smooshed around to blend in the colours...adding from the tubes as I went...sometimes one little smoosh will completely hide the whole blob of colour...especially when the paint is so thick...
I have left some blue sky at the top of the painting...I like the blue there...but not the fact that it is just flat canvas...so, when the leaves dry, I will smoosh on some blues and whites so there is texture in the sky as well...of course this leaves the painting being made up of 4 sections...not an odd number...hmmmm...maybe that just bugs me...I asked my Mom about this and she thinks it's just me! I asked Cariño if it was funny with the sky spots and he said it didn't make him laugh at all...this is the help I get!

I like the sky spots and now you have an uneven number because there is more than one sky spot!
Thank you!
Thank you!
5 areas all together...that is good!
Oh Tamara,
These are gorgeous..and I love your narration of the process. I just love that spontaneous creativity when we surrender..and just let the muse have its way with us. So fulfilling:)
What fun these are! :)
The colours are so vibrant. I loved how you described the whole process and the fun you were having. You have inspired me to have a go at playing with the colours with acrylics. I haven't done much of that at all.
This is absolutely gorgeous! And I enjoyed your commentary on the creative process.
This is great! I know nothing about acrylics and really enjoyed seeing the process of how you've built it up. Great colours, too!

Love your colours. Life is colourful and I am glad use colour in your art.

Pretty. :)
Wow!
I don't think I have ever had so many comments!
Thank you everyone!
It really does help me to write about what I am doing...makes me sit down, slow down and go over my process, my discovering...I learn a lot from this...
I know I really like it when I go to someone's blog and they have documented their process...it is like a peek inside someone's studio...being that fly on the wall...
I once watched my daughter being painted and was fascinated...I photographed it too...I love to watch people in the act of creating...
Thank you again for visiting and commenting!
I am not sure which I enjoyed more--the painting itself--or you describing your process to achieve it--either way both are stellar--thank you...
Oh, this is just gorgeous! And I can really feel the joy just looking at it! Brava!
Sounds like you had fun with this one and you have ended up with a very beautiful piece. Love it!
