I find it stress relieving. Usually I paint the same things over and over again. Does anyone else do that? You just have that one theme that you stick with no matter what.
I have included some pictures of my art. For some reason there is some glare from the overhead light and I couldn't figure out how to take it so that there was no glare and no shadow.
I'm mostly a nature painter. I love starry skies, although my stars can turn out a bit blobby. A thousand suns instead of a sky full of stars. The first two have that night sky and they are places with hills. The one on the left has those dark tree outlines which I painted later. The green hill also came later which is why there are blue spots around the trees, I didn't want to mess up the edges but I couldn't leave it blue around them all, so the ground is slightly blue, interpret that as you will. The one on the right has a blurry slash in the hill side. Yes, that is the haze of a city and light pollution. I'm not sure why this city is sitting at the base of a large hill, but it is and there is a yellowish halo over the top of it.
Below that is a cupcake which I painted for my birthday.
The bottom right is a flower where I used my acrylic paints like watercolor to fill in some of the petals. I also used my green for the background. Basically, I added water to the paint and let it spread over the canvas instead of putting more paint down. The bottom left is a rose of which I'm especially proud. Again sort of a watercolor effect for the background but nice strong lines for the flower itself.
Do you have a favorite? Or do you dislike them all? What do you think I should try to paint next?
