Image by Camera Slayer via FlickrHolidays and Seasonal objects and concepts make great starts for a painting. For instance, when thinking about today, I could make a painting or a page in my sketchbook about so many things!
Here's a list of ideas I could go with:
- I could just start with the colors red, white, and blue and make a stars and stripes design
- set up a patriotic still life with things like the apple pie Cara made, flags in a blue vase, and some red zinnias and roses from the yard
- make a more realistic watercolor of the fireworks we saw from the boat over Coldwater Lake last night
- maybe an abstract of the night sky with fireworks
- photography of the family sharing the holiday can be used to inspire a painting
- the horse was pretty stirred up by the fireworks- a white horse running under the big firworks in the sky was quite a beautiful sight
- kids licking ice cream cones, or eating watermelon
- people lined up for a parade
Happy 4th of July!
