Painting is the most freeing thing I do,it’s the one activity I engage in to let myself go.It is the one time my cluttered go go mind that is always multitasking making sure every end is tied, every need of our kids is met and every to do is done,is washed over with peace and the moments I’m experiencing flow through me.
The more I can let myself go the more life is transferred onto my canvas.This is why I love plein air painting.and realize there’s no turning back.It is just as essential to my well being as it is to my art that I create from life as it’s happening.
What is one thing you do where your mind and spirit rest?
All the best,RebeccaRebecca Grantham.Com,

Each Panel Measures 5.5″ x 12″ on Gallery Wrap Canvas .This piece is best told as half and half.The sky and clouds were painted outside on site and the black-eyed susan flowers were inspired from a photo I took recently.
With this piece I wanted to capture the joy that swells in me and the summer memories I feel whenever I see black-eyed susans.
I loved creating the Rose of Sharon Series, from the flowering Lucy in my yard, it was an exciting blessing to work on and now that all the blooms have withdrawn and faded until next summer, I’m at a loss for colors here around my home. I will surely be painting the sunsets, but I ache for colors and paintings created at all times of day.
