30 Paintings - Day 14!

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

I haven't done anything remotely valentine-ish as I was too busy experimenting again. 
#1079 - Night Rain - 9 x 12 acrylic on watercolour paper
After my attempt yesterday Day 13 to do the same technique as the painting from Day 7, I thought I would try the it on paper. It was NOT a success! So, I had to fiddle around trying to 'fix' the mess I had made; a bit more paint, some spritzed water and a bit of palette knife work and I got something I think is very interesting. What do you think?

We are almost to the half way point of the challenge and I am wondering  what I am going to do with all the paintings I finish - I have no more room to hang things!!! One of the downfalls of living in a rural community that has - a large population of seniors (they have everything and don't buy much art), only a small public display space at the library, and is not a great tourist spot - is, that the art takes a long time to sell.

Pop over to Leslie's Blog  to see what everyone else in the challenge is doing.

I enjoy and appreciate your comments so please say something!

    I love this Val. Really feels like I am looking down on a puddle, and rain is falling. Reflecting lights and shadows - well done!!

      Thanks Sheila. I guess it just proves that mistakes in art are just an invitation to be creative.

    Isn't it interesting how things hit us, Sheila is right on, that is what I saw too!! rain, rain, puddles, gray - oh, I know why that sounds familiar, it's has been and is our weather report. I am loving these Val, please continue even after the challenge to do these abstracts.

      Thanks Nelvia - so glad you like my abstracts. I guess it depends partly on how these sell but I am having fun so I will probably continue with this style - for a while anyway. Sorry to hear that this reminds you of your weather - we have had quite a bit of sunshine but pretty cold too. Have a great day!

    A big score on this one, too, Val - I love the way you've completed this.
