Judy Moses - Fine Art
Uploaded some additional photos today to Fine Art America. Black Friday and I probably should be shopping for Christmas but I am home still nursing my shoulder. Trying to paint a little and clean up my work area...that's a job! Yesterday I gave my original Santa portrait to my nephew. He is a Santa collector. Apparently, he really liked the portrait and so did everyone else. It really makes you feel good to do something for someone else who appreciates what you do. I am working on another Santa portrait that I might display at Charlotte Metrolina above Kathy's fireplace. I would certainly like to sell some of my paintings so I need to keep reading and working on how to promote my art.
I have more paintings that I probably should give away. Maybe I will work on some and get ready for Christmas. I need to work on Christmas Cards as I have made those for years. Lots of things to do before the holidays. So much to do, so little time.

Working on my Art...Slowly
Since my surgery, I have made good progress toward recovery according to the doctor and PT. Unfortunately, it is a long road to full recovery, about 12 weeks. I have been working in both oil and acrylic...trying to paint with left hand.
Over the last couple of weeks, I have worked on a portrait of a beautiful brown horse. I really know very little about horses, except they are beautiful creatures. The portrait that I did is from a photo that was taken by an internet friend. I think that the portrait is coming along nicely however, it still needs some work. Still needs some highlights and work on the mane. So far, I feel good about what I have created in oils. I would like to get some commissions to paint.
I have also painted, all in oils, portraits of a brown Labrador (our grand dog), cocker spaniel, German Shepard, and still working on a long haired dog. I originally painted the cocker spaniel in acrylics but did not like the result so I repainted in oils. I like the look much better. As I look at each portrait, I can see that each one needs some work...we are our own worst critic but that is how we improve our work. I posted photos of each portrait to Facebook.
In December, I have scheduled an acrylic landscape class at Michaels. I also worked on a sample for that class.
Maybe I will have time to work on these again today.
