A Breath of Spring.

It's beginning to look like spring. I tend to use blues and greens in much of my painting. I find them to be calming and soothing, especially when lightened up with a warm white. Here's a selection of spring themed paintings available at Arts on Queen and Arts on King, Toronto.

I've been craving spring in a big way and it definitely shows in the paintings I've been doing lately. These florals that I've added to my "blossoms and blooms" series were so much fun to do. They are light and airy and just so soothing to me. Like a breath of fresh air, and I did have the studio windows wide open as I painted them. One of the perks of having a south west exposure, I get lots of sunlight streaming into the studio.

These are all painted on canvas that I prepared with acrylic modeling paste. This gives the canvas a beautiful texture and I like the way the paint fills into the little nooks and crannies. It creates wonderful dimension. The top two paintings are going to make their way to Art Interiors later this week and the bottom two I will have with me when I exhibit at the Kingsway-Lambton United Church  Art show and Sale in April. If you have any questions about these new paintings or any of my work feel free to drop me an email. Also, I am now once again taking commissions.

Blog Notes

Blossoms on Red 18x18 Acrylic on canvas.

Poor little blog I've neglected you so. I've been in the studio everyday (even on the weekend) painting new works, getting totally absorbed in what I'm doing. Before I know it hours have past and it feels like I've just started. I'm so lucky to love my job so much!

It seems red is all the rage on King St. E. these days. I'll be delivering "Blossoms on Red" to Arts on King this week along with a two other larger paintings in the series.

I managed to get over some tech issues this past weekend and was finally able to update my website with some new works. Check it out here, if you wish. I also created a new page on facebook. You can see it right here at Rita Vindedzis Fine Art. If you like what you see, why don't you join us by clicking on the like icon.

The stars have finally aligned and we are officially looking for new digs. We're movin on up-to a deluxe apartment in the sky. Sort of. We may just end up with that perfect loft live/work space downtown that I've been dreaming about all these years. I really hate the thought of having to pack up all that we've accumulated over the years (arrrgh!!) so there will definitely be a studio sale of some sort happening. I'll keep you posted.

That's it for now. Have a fabulous week.
