The Brightest One - a painting

Hi out there in Neverland.

This is a detail of the latest thing I have finished painting. 

 
I'm also still working on my DOR project 
but not ready to post anything else 

besides my last post about it. Here.

About to begin my third DOR painting and I haven't even finished the first two! 

Here are the progress shots for The Brightest One,

including the photo of the still life bouquet that was my inspiration.

The background is a cardboard box cut out so a corner and walls remains.

The painting happened fairly quickly. Only a couple of shots of progress.

My goal was to paint with freedom and not too much thought. I had my colors picked out

and tools handy and began with large arm movements.

This really helped me to loosen up.

The unvarnished and unframed painting.

I just realized that this painting has a really nice Thanksgiving-ish color scheme. 

So I am wishing you all a good Thanksgiving - 

and

try to find things to be grateful for.  

It will help your day (any day).

and

be good to your fellow human.

Thank you for checking this blog. Stay safe and warm.
