A minute ago, I turned 50. A lifetime ago (it seems) I was a Blue Star Mom with sons serving in Iraq. To ease my mind, I threw myself into painting as a form of personal therapy and growth. I'm a member of the Tennessee Art League and Collaborative Artists Network and some of my paintings can be seen here on my blog, there at www.thecann.org, and also on my website: www.moesse.com. There's also a facebook Fanpage under Moesse the Eclectic Artist if you'd like to keep track there.

My Dragon Theater "Opus" - Done?
I open with a question mark because I'm sure, each time I pass this painting, that I will find something to tweak.
I gotta say, though, I love it! I made a heck of a lot of changes to it, along the way. First, my teacher, Hazel King, recommended revising the mountains in the background to make the church/theater stand out more. Then, she helped me get the different layer of mountain colors better. I tweaked the village, and with my husband's help, got the wall to work perfectly, using the crosswalk stripes in the street between the wall and the church/theater, narrowing as it moved farther away.
I love the sky - again, Hazel King helped me get this right, and with the exception of one maybe too pointy mountain (right side) and the grid mark of the repair tape, I'll be proud to consider this painting my "keeper."
Loveitloveitloveit! Thanks for coming by!
