Last week I sent out a newsletter about one of my latest pieces "Kraken Dream Garden"... I explained in that letter that the piece was inspired by a dream that I had after completing Painting #28; Rainbow Kraken, during #30Days30Paintings. In the dream I took the Rainbow Kraken painting and started painting flowers all through the tentacles. Well, instead of putting a painting I had already finished back into transition, I thought I would start a whole new piece with this Idea in mind! I asked my husband to cut a pallet into 3 pieces varying in size.
I loved how this piece came out, but now I wanted to do another!! So I went and got the next piece of pallet and got started on a new piece!
These Photos make this piece appear massive and although it is a nice size, it's not huge! Here is a shot of Lucy & I working on it late one night.
I was having so much fun though and now I wanted to paint another!!
I had one more, large piece of the pallet John had cut and the next day I got started, but this time I thought I would do a Kraken with Sunflowers and Daisies, but after I got started I couldn't stop! I kept adding sunflowers and daisies until the pallet was a field and the Kraken was frolicking in it!
Here is a pic. of getting started!
and then...This happened!!
I had so much fun painting these! Trust me when I say this format of creating is NOT out of my system yet! My creative mind is jumping with new ideas!
