Darkness and light for the Artist's Playroom #7

As soon as I read the theme

 for this weeks Artist's Playroom,

two paintings came to mind.

I had painted them 

some time ago

when I still had the patience 

to wait for oils to dry.

Here are my 

darkness and light paintings.

 

They are each 2 feet x 3 feet

and sold at a local art exhibition,

in fact I had to paint another

Out of the Darkness,

as two people wanted it.

They don't look much as small photos

but they really make an impact

when you see them actual size.

I would have done a painting

for this week but my Twinkling H2O's have arrived

and I really want to play with them,

or as probably will be more accurate,

make a real mess with them..

I don't know about you

but I tend to wear more paint

than I get on the paper.

As a left hander, I always manage to put

my arm or hand in something wet

and I have a bad habit of putting the paintbrush

in my mouth, which usually

results in technicolour hair.

I'm sure half the mothers

at school pickup think I'm

some sort of weird daggy lady

as I am usually running late

and turn up in my painting clothes 

with paint in my hair and

all over my arms and face.

At least I'm not

trying to compete

with their designer

clothes and cars.

Rather be a daggy lady any day.

I'm off to spritz

 and splosh paint, 

so why don't you

go and see the other

entries for this weeks 

Artists Playroom.
