I'm not blogging so frequently now, as you can see. Writing is HARD...it's so much more fun to paint and share the results than to find words that express the process, my feelings, whatever. All I can say is: painting = my happy place and I have a lot of fun with it! So much so that my art gear comes with me pretty much wherever I go. I've got packing down to two small boxes: one holding the paint tubes and a detailed letter to luggage inspectors to "please please do not throw these away! They are nontoxic, water soluble artist colors...and also expensive" and the other box is my bespoke pochade box that I created out of a real cigar box) Here are some paintings I did while in Mexico a few weeks ago:     The Hibiscus speaks for itself, but the other three paintings are of a historic hilltop building that holds a museum of sorts, a menagerie of parrots and flamingos, and a wonderful tapas bar with the best view in town! Yes, I painted a wall with a shelf of amber bottles and books. I loved the texture and composition...that's how I am these days: painting what makes me happy!  These two paintings are ones I started a couple years ago and was inspired to finish them up lately. The yellow-roofed Kauai plantation building was so rickety and authentic. The little gazing girl in the last painting was from one of our Mazatlan trips and we were so lucky to be in that moment when she came dancing up to look at the ocean and beach.  You can find these and other available paintings on my website (wendyervin.com) One more thing: these next two paintings are currently in a fun local show "Sunshine & Shadows" at GallerieTangerine in Nashville!
Thank you for reading, my friends!!
