Painting #74 - My niece was visiting and wanted to paint an abstract painting after she saw Sun Up Blue. In a few hours we had each completed a painting. My colour palette was inspired by Katie. What a fun experience it was to paint with a young soul!!

Painting #73 - Still pushing myself with abstracts. The process for abstract painting is so different from painting realism. When I'm involved in abstract painting I feel like something that's truly me is at work. That piece of me that I'm speaking about has barely touched the surface. I'll let you know when she's arrived!!

Painting #72 - This is my third painting for the, "Love Lies Bleeding" Ballet competition. Apparently the song, Bennie and the Jets is about a popular style of dress in the 70's called, "Glam Rock". This style was defined by outrageous outfits and gaudy sunglasses and in the song, an extension of Elton's personality. I depicted the ballet dancers from the Alberta Ballet dancing to Bennie and the Jets. Since I'm painting an Elton song, I had to throw in a piano.
