Wild and Free - Tiger painting in oils- unfinished!

Sometimes I forget how really "weird" my under paintings, or lay-ins, really look! Here are 3 photos of my "Wild and Free" tiger painting ( I hope to finish tomorrow). If you aren't an artist, it may seem sort of strange to have so many colors on a canvas that you won't really "see" later.  I didn't take a photo of the first stage, but it was filled with blues and purples. There are so many layers in many of my paintings, taking lots of time to slowly build up to the desired colors. And,the drawing evolves, too.So, don't worry, it will all work out, slowly coming together. I love painting. I love being in my studio. I like cooking, keeping a clean house, and yard work. I don't really care for grocery shopping, or paying bills, but these are things that I have to do. It is sometimes so hard to not paint, when other things must get done. But, as soon as I can, I head for my studio, turn on (and turn up) my music, and enter into that "other world", the world of creating fine arts- what a blessing it is to (finally) be able to do what I love!

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God ... John 1:1-2.
