As one matures, certain things – that were once blurry – become abundantly clear. As the the hands of the clock remove the veil from your eyes it exposes a new world full of wonder, love and potential.
As you can see from this type of impressionist painting, the subject doesn’t need to be perfect and that in itself is very freeing. The picture is not yet completed, but I wanted to share the work in progress along with the ombre bottle display collection I have been working on.
What I do know is that painting is such a part of my soul. It is a deep passion that only grows with time and I have a new appreciation for the Godly gifts.
Thank you so much for visiting today. It means so much to me to see you here.
Have a lovely day!
much love,

Lucy, that picture is gorgeous! Thank you for sharing it with us. You are so talented!
Mamma mia, gorgous!!!
When I saw your IG photo of the bottles. I thought that might be the picture of the Bird.. But I didn’t figure you had painted it so big. I thought maybe a 5×7 at most. I am so Impressed not only is it bigger than I imagined but seeing it in it’s full scale and all the beautiful detail. You did such an AMAZING job. Art class was favorite class and probably the only one I did well in 🙂 Because I enjoyed it so much and wasn’t busy talking like I was in all my other classes 🙂
Such a Lovely and Sweet Picture, Lucy.

I LOVE birds/flowers. Your painting is just GORGEOUS! The palette knife effect on the branch with all that moss is so realistic. I love painting too although like you describe elsewhere, I also haven’t been following my passion much lately. I painted a lot as a child and then stopped (always dreaming/collecting pics to paint etc however) because I was either busy or felt I was not good enough. After seeing your painting here, I am inspired to start again. I so love painting anything to do with nature. Thanks for sharing/inspiring.
Gorgeous painting! your technique is beautiful!
thank you for your beautiful picture! It is such an inspiration.
