Awakening City, LEFT HANDED CHALLENGE, 6 by 6 inch Original Acrylic Abstract Painting by Colorado Artist Carol Hein

Awakening City, LEFT HANDED CHALLENGE, 6 by 6 inch original acrylic on board $50 unframed plus shipping This is the second cityscape in the LEFT HANDED PAINTING CHALLENGE. Working in a new medium, acrylic, with new tools - pallet knives instead of brushes, and only with my left hand has been both frustrating and liberating at the same time.

Abstracted Cityscape, LEFT HANDED CHALLENGE, 6" by 6" original acrylic painting by Colorado artist Carol Hein

Abstracted Cityscape, 6 inches by 6 inches, acrylic on panel - left handed painting Week one is behind me. The mega cast comes off next week and then I will be fitted with smaller casts as we go forward. The family of painters at Colorado Daily Painters and CFAI will understand the frustration that comes from being unable to paint on a daily basis. Since I always wanted to try acrylics and abstract works thought I'd give it a whirl while my right hand is disabled. Abstract work is challenging (so is typing) and I prefer oils but have to admit that this 'left hand challenge" is fun. $50 unframed.

OUCH Thank Goodness for Family and Friends! Colorado Artist Carol Hein

Had thumb joint replacement surgery on Monday. Yep, it's my right hand. No painting allowed for 2 months - six month recovery period. Already going stir crazy. When this mega cast comes off maybe I can paint with my left hand??? Thank goodness for family and friends. They have brought so much food to me that I had to order a chest freezer from Home Depot. ;0) This is my studio and you can see a partially finished painting on the easel. Stay tuned for updates. carolhein@sbcglobal.net Visit my website carolhein.com
