Cheery Flowers/ PYHAS2019
It has been very dreary in Edmonton for the last few days. It’s been warmer, so I am not really complaining but the sun has not been out and on Sunday it was so foggy we couldn’t even see downtown from the loft window. All that said, I can’t help thinking about spring and summer. It comes so fast when it starts and the girls and I have even got some seeds to start inside. We don’t usually do this because … CATS… but this year we thought we could start them in my studio ( a no cat zone). Speaking of the studio and of things I have never done before, I am in the process of filming my workshop for the PAINT YOUR HEART AND SOUL 2019 year long, online painting class. Yesterday’s work may not have had the results that I wanted, my bun made several unwelcome appearances so I have to change where I position the camera. That being said, I am excited about how everything else looked and can’t wait to start editing it together.
For those of you that have been asking me about this workshop, I have included the link for more info HERE. I will be doing a demo of one of my floral paintings and one of my portrait paintings.

Happy Chicken
This Happy Chicken is a 13″x19″ mixed media painting on rag paper. This painting is flat and would need to be matted and framed by you. She is available HERE in my Etsy shop or you can contact me directly maria@mariapacewynters.com
Sometimes when I am making a reproductions of my paintings, I mess up. I use really lovely (and expensive) rag paper so the idea of it it going to waste is upsetting to me. I am a paper lover, through and through. I always have been. I love working on paper, I love the smell of it, the feel of it, the different weights, the different tooth. So, when a mistake happens, I often use the ruined print as an under painting and making something new from it. This Happy Chicken above is an example of making lemons into Lemonade. I am sure she would happily wave here tail feathers and exclaim “Waste not, want not” to all that would listen.
