Yay Paint Party Friday

Hi Everyone!

I have had a very prolific week.  My exhibit leather art is finished and just making extra pieces just in case. LOL.  Sooo I have been able to paint a bit.  Just a bit. All of these are what I call paint-overs. You know painted canvases that I just didn't like and painted over them.  First though a big thanks to Eva and Kristen for hosting  Paint Party Friday. To all of the artist I look forward to seeing what you have created. Now for the fun. Click on the photos to see a better view.
This first piece is 24x48" gallery canvas
"Splintered Sun"

 This is a 12x12x3" deep gallery canvas
"The Gathering" Start in the middle.
 Now many of you know that blue is my least favorite color. I have a hard time working with it in any venue. The color blue is a strong color that tends to float. An equally strong but not overpowering color needs to be added to hold it down. A lesson from my Grandmother when I was young.
This is a 16x12" gallery canvas. I posted all of these to get friends to help name the paintings. This one had a lot of entries but nothing connected with me. If you have a name let me know in your comment.
 Trying to work with blue is very difficult for me. 
The umber and yellows helped me figure this one out.
 After this one I felt like I was making progress 
with working with blue. 
We will see the next time I paint. LOL
This is 16x20" gallery canvas.
"Flying Through The Blue"
 So that is what I was able to accomplish I think I did pretty well. Leave a comment, let me know what you think and if you have a name for the third painting. Have a great weekend!

    Nicole, I instantly saw a native dancer and a white light bow.........so dancing with light bow would be what I'd see it as. You are making vast progress with your blues. Donna

    Wow girl, you were rocking it with these! They are amazing! I have to say, I love your blue paintings! Thinking a name for you. "Shooting Star", "Kissing Winds Of Love", "Everything Is Possible", "Never Stop Reaching". Those are just a few names that came to me, when looking at that painting! Big Hugs!

    I think you did great with the blue ones. About the first blue I was emidietly thinking wild water. Maybe "untamed"
