Ancient Ritual 126

This is also part of any ancient ritual series. It explores the ways in which we mark the passing of time and events in our lives with ritual.

I love these colors. and may do a pond scene with them.    I was pretty sleepy last night and I went to bed and didn't post this painting.  It rained here in Lake Wylie and this morning every thing is wet and beautiful.  South Carolina is really green this time of year and if you ever get the chance you should come here in spring. Its nothing short of vibrant!

I closed down my ebay store today, its too difficult to be selling in so many places. You end of spending too much time on the computer. I want to paint not sit around writing copy and uploading photos. I’ll open it during the Winter months when things are slower.

Tonight I'm starting to paint my 33 by 33 inch Koi painting. So I may or may not post tomorrow. All week I have been drawing value studies to determine the placement of the fish and the funny thing about this is...... that I may not use any of them once I begin. I have been thinking about the family, the kids and the parents and how they interact. I 'm hoping I can put something of them into the piece.
