The Color of Light: An Artist's Blog

I like to keep a daily painting practice but yesterday I just wasn't feeling it. When this happens I often throw logic out the window and "paint like a kid". To me this means I let go of any expectations for a piece and just have fun.

I don't expect these pieces to be shown to the public and they often aren't. But I don't consider them failures. They can teach me a lot! For example, in this piece I did last night, I threw some colors into the sky that I normally wouldn't consider sky colors, such as that bright violet. But I like the effect and may use it in another piece! 

Painting like a kid is a great way to keep a daily painting practice. Let go, play, and learn.
