This is DAY 2 of my ART CHALLENGE and is another example of my
being late to the game…LOL…

| I LOVED this pattern the moment I saw it...it is painted on a very old cheese box |
I have decided that THIS is the year that I will
learn to paint primitives…YES, I KNOW that sounds silly, BUT when I attempt to
paint them on my own, They all turn out to be BRIGHT HAPPY COLORS…My friend
laughs at me and says for ME to try to step over to the DARK SIDE is a very
scary thing…

| I started this on the last day of 2014 and FINISHED it on the FIRST day of 2015...We all need an angel watching over us |
WELL, MAYBE, but I think I have done pretty well, but then HOW can
someone FAIL when they paint a Terrye French design? While I might be late at learning this style,
I am RIGHT on TIME with my appreciation of these creations and for my friends
who paint them so beautifully…
I will LEARN that it is OK for things NOT to be
in proper perspectives, because THAT is part of the charm and I will LEARN that
it is ok for my saltbox houses to be a bit crooked…sigh…

| I seem to be painting ANGELS so far this year...LOL..I LOVE the music at the bottom and YES, it is Hark The Herald Angels Sing... ;) |
I have shown you 3 Terrye
French designs that I enjoyed painting and can’t wait to paint MORE…
One of my FAVORITE PRIMITIVE PAINTERS is Jan Young of RaggedyJan...please go to ETSY and find her...she is AMAZING...be sure to scroll through her SOLD items to see how wonderful her painting is!!
I HOPE that YOU will try new things this year...step out of your comfort zone, but WHATEVER you do, do it with a GRATEFUL HEART...Blessings to YOU...~charlotte♥
so beautiful xxx
ReplyDeleteWonderful work. I too am just recently coming to appreciate primitive style. Dance of the Angels is very sweet.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Charlotte, I think that your work is wonderful. Saltbox primitives would not have that whimsy if they were tall and straight. A little crook here and a little crook there is what gives them the charm they need to be perfect. You said that the first one was painted on an old cheese box. I remember when I was a kid I kept my crayons in a wooden box that Velveeta cheese came in. I miss those wooden boxes and crates. I guess that is why so many of us love old pallets; they are the closest thing to the old crates and boxes:)
ReplyDeleteThank you for following my blog. I appreciate your support and new friendship :)
Your new blogging sister,
Connie :)
I absolutely LOVE these beautiful paintings that you created, Charlotte! It is great to see all of your work and see you working on different styles. I only came to enjoy painting primitive painting after seeing Terrye's work too. To me, it is so much fun and so relaxing to make her adorable designs. She will be sorely missed in the art world, but it warms my heart to see how many people will still enjoy her talents for many, many years. Have a wonderful day! :)
