I worked on this lovely orange painting at the dining room table while I cooked curried butternut squash thai soup (OMG was that yummy!) on the woodstove...still much to do...I originally started with a delicate wash...then made a mess of it by going too dark too soon with the dark moss brown that I love so much...dang...so I painted over it all with pale umber, stone gray, and a white wash...then I went back at it again, the red gold wash (the color in jar on the table) and played with a pale green and the dark moss color...more to come another day!And then...I picked this little painting off the wall (I originally worked on it back in August 16th) because I "saw" something that needed to be done...I think this time it's done...

I should show your photograph to my wife so she can see I am not the only one taking over sacred places of the house to create ones art.
Thank you for sharing and have a wonderful week,

I really love the orange piece and the soup sounds fantastic!
Somehow making art and making soup go together.
Both paintings are beautiful
Got a good chuckle on this posting. I agree with Egmont -- no space is truly sacred from art-making. I love your descriptions of your processes -- keeps me hopeful!
I thought making art in a space was what made it sacred! Messy, but sacred. LOL! Love them both and your thoughts on process.
