"Travel Plans" - Oil on Birch Panel - 8x10 "Planes de Viaje" - Oleo - 20x25cm SOLD |
Wow, we had a blast!! TC and company finally calmed down from the excitement of being here and posed for me for a couple of hours. They were delighted to find on my coffee table a couple of books on Traveling Destinations and Must-See places. They spent the entire time hanging out on a pile of some of my favourite art and travel books in my studio planning their next escapades (I didn't have the heart to tell them it was all already planned out for them!). All in all we spent a wonderful week, telling stories of travels, art and painting and it was all music to my ears as traveling is one of my passions. I LOVE to discover new places and cultures and can't wait to go on another adventure.
It was quite the teary event yesterday when I put them back in the box and sent them off to their next destination: Saskatchewan! (one of Canada's provinces, the third one from the left). I did check the weather forecast for them in SK and it shouldn't be too bad (It can be very cold there!)! Have fun with them Christine, the next artist to host them :)
Not sure if the painting is finished yet, but I had had enough of it that day! I may go back in and redefine some lines, what do you think? Is it finished to you? Comments and suggestions always welcome!

Till the next time TC and Co! Happy Travels!

Wow, cómo nos divertimos!! Finalmente se calmaron un poco después de la exitación de estar acá y posaron un par de horas para que los pintara. Se pusieron súper contentos de ver en mi mesa del living un par de libros de Destinos del Mundo y Lugares que Deben Visitarse. Se pasaron todo el tiempo sobre una pila de mis libros de arte y viajes favoritos discutiendo y planeando sus próximas escapadas. (No tuve el coraje de decirles que ya está todo planeado!!) La verdad es que lo pasamos bárbaro, contando historias de nuestros viajes, hablando de arte, pintura y todo eso fue música para mis oídos ya que el viajar y el arte son dos de mis pasiones. Me ENCANTA descubrir lugares y culturas nuevas y espero ansiosa nuestra próxima aventura.
Hubo lágrimas en la despedida ayer cuando los puse en la caja y los despaché para Saskstchewan (una de las provincias de Canadá, la tercera contando desde el Pacífico) Me fijé en el pronóstico y por suerte no está tan malo, puede hacer mucho frio ahí! Espero que te diviertas con ellos Christine! (La próxima artista que los va a alojar:)
No estoy segura si esta pieza está terminada todavía, qué les parece? debería seguir refinando algunas partes? Sugerencias siempre son bienvenidas. Pueden visitar el blog de TC para su gran historia y viajes. El Pollo Viajero.
Hasta la próxim vez TC y Amigos! Buenos Viajes!!

What a clever concept - travel plans - and I love the titles of the books. I love the way you allowed the yellow to shine! it is about that chicken after all.
ReplyDeleteThank you Julie! I love those books and I am pleased with the way the painting turned out, even when I could have kept going. So glad you are feeling better!
