'Sunset on Colonel By Lake' by Paula Formanek

Still jet lagged, but I started this one yesterday because I was in the mood to paint 🎨 something big and different!

Based on a photo I took last summer, actually painted over an old flower painting I did a few years ago (which I did not like).

I will let this dry now and then see if it's done ... Oil with knives on canvas ... It will be called 'Sunset on Colonel By Lake' ...

"Now and Zen in White" by Lynda Cookson

This one's for me and will probably find a permanent in our Milly the Motorhome :-) I started out aiming to paint the Buddha which sits at my desk (called "Now and Zen") and put in this white underpainting. And there I stopped! I love it ... it seems to represent to me everything that the Zen philosophy is - simple, pure, peaceful and with a depth you have to look for to find. It's mine, mine, mine. :-)
