Day 17: Lady Fall
November 17th, 2011
Finished this up a little late tonight, but I like the way it came out. Feels very dream like. I started it early in the morning with acrylic paint on watercolor paper and a bit of salt sprinkled on it. Then came back with some more paint and ink in the evening, bringing out the shape of a woman and trees that I saw there.

Beautiful! I love the colors and the textures. You’re right, it does feel very dream-like. I love how many of your paintings have trees in them. I am madly in love with trees.

This is beautiful – the colors are vibrant and I love the way her skirt is flowing backwards.

That “bringing out” concept is really cool. I haven´t been able to see much on my own pieces yet.

It’s so pretty. The colours are just beautiful. I’ve tried salt before but I don’t think I’m doing it right. Is it table, rock or low salt and how wet should the paint be? Mine just sorta sits there and then brushes off after it’s absorbed the tiniest amount of pigment (I apply it when the paints wet/fresh) but it never leaves a very distinct finish. What’s your technique if you don’t mind sharing?

I have decided to try your method of painting. Iknow you put the paint on and then see what is calling to you fom the page. I think this must be a very freeing style to work in.

I just love your technique and also love working with fall colors. With the colors and the dress and the trees this oone really does evoke the mystique of autumn. I am going to have to try experimenting with salt one of these days!

I really like this one, Leah–the colors, the drape of her dress–gorgeous!
