Paintings in the Rough

Yahoo it is Friday!!!! I am very glad this work week is winding down. It has been too busy. Just 8 hours of work to before I get a little down time!

Big smile on my face.

So a couple of weekends ago I started 2 new paintings. They are still unfinished, in need a lot of work, but here they are. This top painting needs some more details added to it. I love adding details. I think the couch needs a messed up blanket and a cat on the back. The big thing behind the couch is going to be a painting within a painting, and that needs to be done. The basket needs yarn. Maybe there should be a dog on the couch. 

But I like my couch. I'm not crazy about the bookshelves though. Or the tall silver floor lamp.

But I can always paint over it-that is what I love about paint.

Time will tell what happens here.

And this is the old red chair painting. The light is so bad on this you can't see the old fabric details that are in it, but as this is painting in the rough, you get the rough form, sorry about that.

I painted this because I really wanted to try painting a chair, and wanted to see in particular if I could paint a chair and have people recognize what kind of chair it is.  I asked my daughter and the hubby and they both guessed it exactly, so I am proud of myself for getting that down.

Since it is Friday, and time for a party, I am linking up to Paint Party Friday. Thanks to Kristen and Eva for hosting. If you aren't a regular, stop by the site for a visit.

I won't be partying with the Paint Party Friday folks next week as I will be away, but I will be back in March.

Now that sounds really good to me-March. I love the feeling we are really moving closer to spring here in New Hampshire, even though March can be a real bear some years. At least after March comes April and that means winter is behind us. (Usually that is).

That's all for today.  Thanks for stopping by.
