This week’s painting was such a positive experience. It was an emotional and difficult week with this pregnancy and with every brush stroke, I felt myself escaping more and more. It was therapeutic to continue to add layers of pigment and watch the painting transform half a dozen times until this composition showed itself and I got that familiar feeling–this is it.

The colors and brushstrokes felt reminiscent of what it must be like to go night fishing–not that I would actually know. And then Chris said, “I’m pretty sure night fishing is illegal.” (Turns out, with a flashlight, it is.) So the name of this bad-a painting was born.

As a reminder, I will be producing one painting a week and presenting that painting here on Fridays. It will also be available for purchase in my Etsy shop. We schedule our posts to go live first thing in the morning here, but the paintings will mostly be listed late Thursday nights, so to get a first look (or dibs!) at each painting, it wouldn’t be a horrible idea to add the shop to your favorites on Etsy.  Happy Weekend, friends!

Update: The original painting has sold, but to purchase high-quality giclee prints (4 different sizes available) click here.
