Here's a painting I've been working on for another show. This is for the upcoming juried show at the Halle Cultural Arts Center of Apex. View event information here.

| Apex Farmhouse 16" x 20" acrylic on canvas |
I started with a wash using water soluble pastels on canvas primed with Colourfix in terracotta... I was planning on a light layer of acrylic with some touches of oil pastel.

| I liked the drips...maybe I'll do this again soon! |
Next, I laid down the acrylic paint with a palette knife... this took about 2 hours.
I worked on it another 30-45 minutes last night and made myself stop here...
Not sure how much more I want to work on it. I'm afraid it will get too blended or have too much detail, and it won't look as fresh and spontaneous. What do you think?
I might just finish around the windows on the left side of the house, add some more Fall color to the tree on the left, and add a little more green in the shadow above the shed. Oh, and I think I want more yellow in the meadow. That's all ;)
Maybe I'll limit myself to another 20 minutes!
Stay tuned... for the latest details, you can see my images and what I'm working on by following me on Twitter : ArtbyBethany. (See the Twitter feed on the right bar on this page!). ------->
