I took most of the last year off from painting while we were renovating/selling our house and then searching/buying/moving into a new one. I had forgotten how long my varnishing process takes. It is so much more than just putting on a layer of varnish....its a slow, meticulous process...
Since I use mixed media, i.e. pastels, graphite, etc., along with acrylics, I need to make sure that the other media doesn't smear and is fully protected. So first I apply a fixative. Then once that is dry, an isolation coat., which fully seals the surface before the final varnish is applied.
Only after this all completely dry, do I apply a UV satin removable archival varnish. I use a removable varnish because this enables the varnish to be removed if the painting ever needs to cleaned for conservation purposes.
All this insures that my paintings will be around for many years....to bring beauty and joy to the lives of future generations as well as yours. 😊
I've started a new painting series that I'm super excited about! Having a serious love for texture, I wanted to explore that in my work.
Don't these remind you of weathered things that have seen much life and stood the test of time?
Hmmmm....haven't named this series yet, but me thinks I might just be onto something here.
What do ya think?

Now that we are fully entrenched in fall here in the Pacific Northwest, the trees are drenched in warm, rich hues and when they fall to the ground {which is still such a bright green because of all the rain we get come fall}, it creates a stark contrast of complementary colors. As a creative, that is something that just makes me come alive!
Color is a gateway to the heart....each one giving off it's own energy, even reflecting or affecting the emotions of the viewer. They have a strong impact on our emotions and are an inseparable part of our every day lives.
So as you are out and about doing your daily routines, take a few minutes to pause and soak in the colors around you.....as you just may find that they provide a much needed moment of refreshment in an otherwise hurried day.
beauty...it's all around you, if only you open your eyes {and heart}. Will you open yours and let it in?
