#AbundantArtShow is ending soon.

Hidden Passageway, 30x40cm

You might remember I mentioned a few days ago I was taking part in the #abundantartshow alongside several hundred other artists. It ends in two days, and today's challenge is to ask people to share your work to help you spread the word and perhaps find new buyers. {I find this very hard to say! But nothing ventured...} So if you feel moved to support an artist today, visit the #abundantartshow hashtag and share your favourite painting any which way, Facebook, Instagram, Pinterest etc - it doesn't even have to be mine. ;) And don't forget to use the hashtag! Either way, a HUGE thank you to you for already supporting and encouraging me so much. I appreciate it more than I can say. 

I have created a pinterest board for the abundantartshow showing some of the art I like. I must say, there is a lot of variety. https://www.pinterest.com/artbymarion/abundantartshow/

You may recognise this scene, it is my favourite scene of the poppy fields.

I have purchase the latest book by Richard Schmid, Alla Prima 11 and my head is so full of what I read, I decided to relax with my one of my favs.

I am trying to read the chapters one by one, but I find his rambling style a bit soporific. I am determined for the info to sink in though. So I must practice with some sketches, but much of his work has a earth tone to it and, as you can see, that is not my style. I do find it interesting and doing some exercises will always help. I do find his work very interesting, especially his florals and landscapes and how he can say so much with out over filling the canvas as is my habit and something I want to work on.
