"Get the Lead Out Abstract"

Happy Sunday!

Some day's I just want to "get the lead out" and just paint something, mainly because I'm so impatient and limited on time and Dang it!, I just want to feel like I've accomplished something :-) 

Btw, when writing this, I thought 'what is the meaning of  "Get the Lead Out"?'

I didn't have a clue of it's origin and true meaning so I had to look it up and found this definition:

"is short for "Get the lead out of your ass/britches/butt/feet/
pants", which is long for "Move!" These expressions originated in
the U.S. circa 1930."

This painting is for my husband office, should I share the true meaning of this painting with him? it essentially means "butt energy painting" LOL heeeheee! Ssshhhh!

Have a Glorious Sunday!

 

"Old" but "New" Dragonfly painting - Alma's Dragonfly

Hi There!

Gosh, I wanted to post this LAST year! LOL, oh well, life got in the way :-)

Alma's Dragonfly is a painting I did for my nephew Robbie and wife Alma. They always liked my other dragonfly painting I did and wanted one like it. For this one I wanted to experiment with different mediums, so I started it with Acrylic, then on to Watercolor and last touches were Pastel.

Top= 1st painting

Bottom = Alma's Dragonfly

As you can see here the differences between the two. (sorry about the bad lighting and reflections).
