I am hoping to get down to the seashore for dawn but the rain has arrived first. So, refusing to be left empty-handed on the first morning of the year, I have decided to share a detail from a painting in progress.
The over all painting is still not settled on the canvas yet but I like this part of it.
SPROUT: Do you find this sometimes too – where a detail may even become the finished work?
In this case, I think the complete 12 X 12 inch canvas will come together but we shall have to wait and see.
Wishing us all the most inspiring, imaginative, creative and successful 2012!

Happy New Year, Terrill! Wishing you the very best in 2012.
Thank you Maureen… 11 moments of the Dawn of 2012 coming right up in a new post.
Terrill – I sure like it the way it is — it looks 3-dimensional.
SPROUT: Do you find this sometimes too – where a detail may even become the finished work?
Not often, but yes. In the coming weeks at Speaking from the Heart I’ll be using a photograph that was meant as a detail — just an aspect — but has ended up being the whole.
In 2012 I wish that your every dream comes true; that you find yourself surrounded by friends, laughter, and good times; that your every cup runneth over financially, romantically, spiritually, and creatively; and that good health be your faithful companion, peace your guarded ally, and love your perpetual guide.
A joy-filled New Year’s to YOU and YOURS,

I am looking forward to seeing your image when it is up. Thank you for the wishes for the year ahead as well. Now I am going to get busy and share up this morning’s dawn here on Mayne Island.
Wishing you a creative and inspiring new year too.
Love the work in progress…and we are having clear sunshine today – partner got a group bike ride in today.
I just took a quote from the book I am reviewing and it became the focal point of the whole review. I think a painter and detail person would like this book very much…but maybe they already understand the context of the details? Goes up tomorrow….the writer has a fine sense of humor and young children….good storytelling is like good painting: joyful
Sound fascinating Patricia. I will keep my eye open for the post. I agree too when you say “good storytelling is like good painting: joyful.” I think this is true if if the story or painting a gloomy or distressful – we tend to enjoy fine work regardless of the subject.
That is beautiful. Makes me miss the feel of sand and water on my toes.
Winsomebella this was a warm summer morning and like you I miss the bright warmth of the sand and water in August.
