Up, Up and Away 16"x20" acrylic

I feel like I have been away from painting for a very long time.  I was very busy with technical aspects of art, and then life priorities stepped in to remind me that this is not the only important thing I do.  This painting is a work-up for a demo I will be doing on Wednesday for a painting class.  I am really conscience that they will mostly be beginner painters and I don't want to overwhelm them. I woke up thinking about hot air balloons and how stunning they are, and it occurred to me that this would make fun subject matter and each person can personalize their balloon and landscape.  I think it is pretty simple design that could be accomplished in a couple of hours.  What do you think?

Contemplation 16"x20" acrylic

This was a demo I did for a beginning painting group class.  I needed an image that could be completed on 16"x20" within 2 1/2 hours.  I thought long and hard about what to do and decided on this image but had some other images as examples, with a bird feeder instead of a person, or grape vines instead of flowers.  I got the idea for the composition of the flowers from painter Carolee Clark who does lovely, fun graphic images.  The class had a great time and everyone was happy with their creations which of course were entirely different from mine and each others'.
