I have lots of work to do and all I can think about is ... when can I paint again!
While most of these paintings are not complete, I am so loving the process, a process/style that has sort of naturally morphed after taking Flora Bowley's class and Jennifer Mercede's class.
Truth be told ... I'm a little bit afraid of forgetting the process that I have discovered here and so, I just keep on painting, when I've got a extra minute that is.
During Jennifer's class ... we were told to use our non-dominate hand to draw and doodle with. This technique has changed my paintings!
Jennifer also encourage us to try Blind Contour Drawing, something I had done years ago in my college art classes, but had simply forgotten about!
This little elephant was actually a blind contour drawing done by Christy Nimeh's daughter Maddy! So adorable! Thanks, Maddy!
As you can see I am out of my mind crazy these days, in love with painting! More to come ... for sure!
Holy moly, Cynthia!! These are stunning. No wonder you can't stop!!!

After seeing your wonderful paintings and reading your blog bought Flora's book. Now all I want to do is paint.
I am making an amazing mess so far but love every minute

The Realism painting style depicts life as it actually appears without added glorification, drama or emotion.

If this is really the result of your passion, no wonder you can't really resist doing this hobby again and again. I'm sure you are very much satisfied with your work as I do viewing it. If the feeling is this, then there is no reason to stop.
Painting is really a great hobby!
