It’s February, it’s cold, it’s winter…and it’s one of my favorite cheerful color palette months! I love pink, all shades, tiny highlights or all out nothing subtle about this kind of PINK (see painting…lol). I’m dedicating the first two weeks of February to painting and posting all things “pretty in pink”. Old and new, some from the archives (this one was a large 24×36″ commission for a lovely client several years ago). Others are on the easel now with wonderful pools of pinks on the palette ready to go.
Other than loving this shade, I’m also reminded that having a limited palette/supplies/subject is EASIER!!! When I took art classes 15 years ago I’d walk in with the equivalent of an art supply store inside a carry on luggage and wonder why I didn’t complete anything. I had too much! Too many options kill the vibe. When i had everything to choose from, my inspiration was stifled. Narrow it down to 2-3 canvases, bare bones brush selection, 5-6 tubes of paint, some paper towels, a good snack and I can almost guarantee that you’ll complete something you really like. Less is more.
Happy creating or lounging or both on this pretty in pink February day. xo
