Sept 3 Pod Shapes Sketch

Brought my paints to Good Harbor Beach so I could be with the crowd. I'm playing with shapes and color. I started out trying to go with the dried Pod colors but I ended up adding high contrast color.

This piece is acrylic on paper and is 12 inch square.

Sept 1 Foxglove Seed Pods

Here we go, Day 1 of the Leslie Saeta 30 paintings in 30 days Challenge.

So far I have posted my image with my name spelled wrong and posted with the incorrect blog address. No, this isn't my first time participating in this challenge. I do get so excited that I rush and then make mistakes. Yes, I am excited about this 30/30 challenge because my paintings always improve by the time I'm finished.

I've been working on Pod Paintings all summer. I will continue this them for the month.

This piece, Foxglove Seed Pods, is acrylic on paper and is 12 inches square.

Aug 5 Lupine Light

The Lupine exploration continues with a view towards the sky. The pods are ripening and starting to release the seeds.

Acrylic on gessoed paper about 9x13"

July 16 Lupine Pods

This painting represents the early part of a series made in Bristol, Maine.

The series is inspired by Lupine Pods which are left after the Lupine flower fades.

They are bold and prominent which I love. They are dramatic in the garden.
