Day 13 of #21daysinmyartworld Process Insight I wanted to share my process while painting this eucalyptus that has been waiting for me for a couple of weeks now, but I won’t be at the easel for another couple of days... I have already painted this canvas in my mind a dozen times, I guess that is part of the process. The lights and shadows... the placement on the canvas... the first wash... what color? Squinting to get all the darks in place, mixing those many colors of green, dark and light, cool and warm... the direction of light... It’s all in the process... Did you catch that red stem? #oilpainting #artwork #process #paintingprogression #lightandshadow #warmandcool #artistsoninstagram #knaylorpaintings #eucalyptus
Day 8 of #21daysinmyartworld Inspiration... I took this photo with my phone on one of my early morning sunrise walks at this very humble little lake that I live near in Oklahoma. We don’t have snow covered mountains here, or glorious ocean waves crashing against the rocky coastline, those scenes would definitely inspire me. But we do have some awesome sunrises and sunsets, and some very special inspirational moments that I love to capture... a small child with tousled hair peeking through the glass counter at the cookies at the coffee shop, or a musician tuning her cello in front of huge squares of glass windows, or the waitresses folding white napkins at a long industrial metal table in front of a large decorative mirror, or an outfitter leading his horses through a glorious forest of golden aspens, or a snowflake falling on an eyelash... God gives Inspiration everywhere. I read a very inspiring post today by an artist and her words resonated so true within my spirit. I loved what Elizabeth wrote for her Day 8 Inspiration @painted_praise Perhaps it will inspire you too. 😊 #inspiration #sunrise #guthrielake #thisisoklahoma #oklahomasunrise #mosaicoklahoma #sunrisewalkswithsage #godscreationisbeautiful #knaylorpaintings
