Several awesome artists have told me to not expect every painting to turn out. This one didn't. But it DID fill it's purpose of getting me back into painting mode so that makes it a good thing. ;-) This is not a good pic - it was extremely difficult to photograph because of reflections. (I'm not used to photographing acrylics!) So I finally stuck it in front of this old one so I could adjust colours better. You can't see the pads too well here but you can see the final outcome.
I was going to start working on some paintings from my trip to Scotland and England but I might just work on another jellyfish, like the doomed one behind the lilypads. Then onto the Cheviot Hills or Edinburgh Castle......
Have a nice day - it's raining cats and dogs here!
11" x 14", acrylic with some rice paper collaged on.

It looks good from here! Glad you are getting back into painting - sometimes we have those "slumps" or just that period in our lives when "life" intervenes and we have no time for us. Get back in the game!!
I wondered where you went to. I like this painting very much. Very moody, much like what Monet did.
Hi Deb. Yes, those slumps. It can be so hard to climb out of them. Thanks for commenting! I'm jumping back in ......
Hi Lokelani! Thanks for stopping by and commenting - it means a lot.
It looks great, those deep blues are to die for Deb, gotta check the caligraphy up close and personal, will you sent me a close up? Still thinking that it should read Deborah there :) you haven't lost your touch
Thanks Teresa! I'll mail you a shot of the letters tonight, k?
Beautiful, peaceful,calm, yet still has a moody edge. I like this tribute very much!!
