I decided to be set free this week.....lol. My idea was to use a big brush and not take more than thirty minutes on each of these.....well....the shoe may have taken longer but that was because I changed the background multiple times. Anyway.... I got out of my head for a change and it was a very pleasant vacation....lol. I need to start painting in this way more often. My next goal is to do one of my girls with a big brush and just go!!

tweedles
they are pretty and have such good mood....
lovely humor.... you am a fan of theses colors too.
Oh yes! You are now a shoes designer named Manon Bhlanik? Really though, the shape of that foot in the shoe is very sexy. Hmn, do I have a foot or shoe fetish?
What's with the scratch marks on the gesso board. Did you get itchy and just started scratching?
Do you ever run out of ideas?
Okay, have a very lovely evening. I am in and out and out and in cleaning vacuuming drawing and now I must hang some matted nuts. I mean framed acorn drawings.
Thanx, Linda!! xoxoxo
Good to see you, Irina!! : ))
yes....get back to your paintings, Teri!! : ))
It feels good to paint like this, Wanda!! love your comment!!
Awe....thanks, Tweedles!! xo
They do feel in a good mood, Caio!! Happy colors too!!
I almost feel like I should design shoes, Ces....LOL
You may have a shoe thing going on....haha!!
I love scratching these paintings of mine. I can't seem to stop....yup....it may be a scratching fetish!!
Ideas.....OMG....I never have enough!! xo
Like the paintings and the idea of doing them as you did. It is so easy to get caught up in making art a project, rather than a release.
very nice Manon, I love these :)
Hya Manon less than thirty mins - you are a speed freak :)
Oh but it's true, the faster we paint the more we tap our heartemotions and not our headsbrainsego
me I just paint fast because I am greedy (not money but time greedy) and impatient :)
Each are fabulous but oh the shoes!! I wish I could get out of my head once in awhile.
These are all just so much fun,and beautiful paintings. Love the shoe and the way the background is.
Lovely paintings and what a great technique! I'm going to try it.
Manon!!! Tis me! Oh how I love the two-4! teehee. I can see by your paintings that you are doing very, very well. Have you been out here in the desert lately? I would take great delight in meeting you for lunch again. School will be out soon. Oh, just read Ces' comment. How did her nuts get matted? Sounds painful. Also sounds like the old days with Renee. **kisskiss** Deb
Manon,
I agree, all three of these pieces are great! It's good to shake things up once I while, as it normally brings out something that has been stuck. You are on the right path after a much needed vacation!
Have a great week,
Brian
Hey, M - big brushes suit you! I really like the freedom of these pieces, they feel like the painting equivalent of messing up your hair and keeping it that way because it looks great that way!
oh one for you and one for me!!! perfect!!!!
Aaaaaah, these paintings are so liberating and free! Holy moly, I love the colors on that shoe painting! I would spend at LEAST 30 mins just staring at the blank page. You rock!
You're so right, Anthony!! letting go feels so good!!
Thank you, K.H.!!
Hey, Andrew!! So many paintings I think too much about. I wanted to be a speed demon for sure on these!!
You should try it, Sherry!!
Awe....thanks, Buffy!!
Thanks, Jane!!
Hey, Deb!! No...I haven't been out lately but hopefully soon!! I miss those days with Renee also!! xoxo
Hey, Brian!! Are we all coming around to blogging again? lol!!
Hey, G!! I like the big brush too! i have to keep using it!! hope your knee is doing better!! xoxox
Thanks, Diana!!
Hey, Bella!! It's hard for me to believe that you would stare at a blank canvas for 30 minutes!!! : ))
Greetings Manon, so you are French... and yet you look so normal :)
Thank you for offereing to send your mum to us. I will have to check with my wife. Will she be arriving in the mail...? :) :)
sorry for being silly
it's good that you are back sharing your art!
