Kiss - kissing couple on the beach

"Kiss Too"

20" x 16", Oil on Canvas

I finished this painting a few months ago and it had been hanging on my wall.  Recently I sold the first painting "The Kiss" - which is similar to this but the woman has a bouquet of flower in the outstretched hand and flowers in her hair.

 

The couple who bought it said that it remind them of their wedding 10 years ago and this was going to be their anniversary gift to one another....

 

I am so touched!!! 

 

I decided to make a few changes to this painting because I was not quite happy with the results - some of the changes were - his legs were too skinny so I've given them more "heft"  And I blurred his feet area.  I changed her hand to be more closed - the first one felt like it looked like a lobster claw...

 

Anyway - here it is.  Kiss Too.  (2)

I just read a quote that made me chuckle since I've been painting these little figuratives.

"Every portrait that is painted with feeling is a portrait of the artist, not of the sitter."

--Oscar Wilde

OK....hmmmmm

I once asked Nancy Medina help on writing an artist statement for a show she organized in Flower Mound to benefit the Flower Mound Humane Society. She said I should write "I like painting flowers and things and nekkid people"... LOL

Kisses

"Kisses"

6 x 6 inches, Oil on Board

Summertime...hot and steamy. That's the weather here in North Texas after our much needed rain.

I love you! How easy is that? To look your darling in the eye and say "I love you!" Every loving relationship however needs a kick in the pants, a little nurturing, a little pat on the back, a little romance".

A past post on a blog I like to read called "On Simplicity" lists 37 ways to say "I love you". I think these ideas are great if in case you need a little help.

And how about just being nice to the person you love. Don't judge, don't nag, don't second guess - just be nice.

Add Stevie Wonder's song "I Just Called To Say I Love You"....

I was listening to Etta James sing an old standard "All the Way"....'when somebody loves you, it's not good unless they love you....all the way..."

Listening to music is inspirational when painting - I love my oldies, '70's songs and when I'm standing at my easel I like dancing to the music (oh yeah, disco was still pretty big in the '70's) while I slap on the thick paints with the palette knife onto my canvas...la la la when somebody loves you....la la la...

This little painting started as a brush painting but it just didn't have the pizazz I was looking for so with a little Etta James singing in the background, love in my heart, I grabbed more paints and repainted using the palette knife.

What songs do you listen to when you paint or do something creative?

This Kiss, this kiss, this kiss....

I heard Faith Hill's song on the radio the other day and I got to thinking that in no time at all it will be Valentines!! So inspired by the song "This Kiss" I painted this with a red background.

Valentine's Over

It's a day after Valentine's but love is love any time of the year.

This is a painting I did a couple of years ago.
