Bringing my arm back to norm is SO difficult but they tell me that I'm doing well so I push myself to the ultimate. Everyday I try to paint a little more... this is what keeps me sane and relaxed..lol
This painting was so much fun because I used my palette knife only for the texture on the corn.
The reference photo was taken in Lancaster, PA at an Amish Farm. They were harvesting corn with horse drawn wagons. They are such hard working people and I have so much respect for them.
Thank you all for your previous comments. I appreciate them.
I wish you a fast recovery, your work is so fresh and beautiful.Difficult think that you have problems looking at...Art is a miracle itself and you are an artist always. Hugs and kisses,Rita.
ReplyDeleteme alegra que hayas podido reiniciar tu pintura . la utilización de la paleta en las hierbas muy acertada asi como la definición y realismo del caballo.

A lovely painting . I love how you used the knife to create the texture on the corn. Best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Wow! Your knife work is really good! I hated physical therapy. Hang in there.
ReplyDeleteThe way you have created the corn stacks is fabulous. Your knife work is really great. Be patient. You will be fine. Your arm will be as good as new!! Probable painting itself might be a therapy. Anything that gives you pleasure and peace contributes to the healing process.
ReplyDeleteBravo pour cette merveilleuse peinture !
ReplyDeletePrends bien soin de toi, chère Hilda.
Bises.
Wow, such an amazing work on the corn, and I love the subject. Can't help thinking that maybe if we had all been Amish, the world would be a better place now.
ReplyDeleteBonjour ma chère Hilda,
ReplyDeleteChaque jour suffit à sa peine, fais très attention à toi !... Cependant il est bon de reprendre peu à peu les activités...
Bravo pour ce joli travail. Il n'est pas facile certainement de faire coïncider le travail fin et raffiné de ta touche au pinceau avec celle du couteau... Tu y réussis à la perfection. Bravo !
Je t'embrasse affectueusement,
Gros bisous ♡

SO thankful you're on the mend and glad you're painting!! What a beauty you have here. Your knife work is wonderful!!
ReplyDeleteDear Hilda, I am happy to read you are recovering and happy to see your beautiful work here again. This does remind me so much of PA. We visited an Amish town while my in-laws lived in Phili a few years ago. I took photo after photo of the rolling farms. It was so peaceful there.
ReplyDeleteYour work really is so beautiful.
You did a marvellous job with this painting Hilda! A beautiful scene! I'm glad you're getting better and better. Take care, Hugs
ReplyDeleteGorgeous work Hilda!! I love the horse and the cart filled with corn is beautiful. It is a great place to visit! I am very happy to know you are doing well! Take good care of yourself and don't over do it!
ReplyDeleteOh Hilda, as a Physical Therapist I know that shoulder recovery is tough... hang in there! So glad you are painting and finding it to be motivating during this time of rehab. This is a beautiful paining - I love your variation and depths of green!
ReplyDeleteIt is so great to see you painting again!!! I'm glad to hear that it did you a lot of good during your rehab...great to have something to strive for. Make sure you don't do too much too soon. This is really lovely! Excellent work on all those ears of corn and the horses. Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteHilda, I am so glad to hear you are mending well and staying sane. It's wonderful that you have your art. The textures in the corn are great! Good news all!

What a beautiful scene, Hilda. I am amazed at the variety - from the smoothness of the horses coat to the palette knife work then on to the details on the equipment. Especially the chain!
ReplyDeleteYou amaze.
Glad you are back working after the surgery. Good for you . I bet the therapy has been tough but know you never give up.
have a happy, pain free week, dear friend.
This is so beautiful Hilda. Painting sessions definitely heals physical and mental..so glad you are back to working.
ReplyDeleteHilda, what a beautiful painting. Your ability to paint horses especially with a palette knife and get that smooth texture takes a tremendous talent like yours. Well done my friend. So happy you are back working at what you love.
ReplyDeleteThis is wonderful, Hilda! Painted with so much skill. I'm so glad to hear that therapy is helping your arm. It's a long road isn't it?! But, it's well worth it in order to have the normal use of your arm. Hang in there! I'm so glad that painting brings you mental and emotional pleasure as well. We all need that when we're healing. Take care!
ReplyDeleteDear Hilda, Thank you for your valued visits,and I'm so sorry that I could not visit you sooner. Sorry also that in the meantime you have needed surgery for your shoulder, but hope that the physiotherapy speeds up your recovery. Your painting is so pleasing to the eye Hilda, and done so skillfully,... your knife work is amazing. Warm Regards.
ReplyDeleteDear Hilda so glad to see you are healing. This painting is simply beautiful too. It is always such a pleasure to see your art. Take care friend and keep on getting better. Hugs!
ReplyDeleteThis is really beautiful! It looks like you used a brush! Very clever... I really hope you are back well again very soon xx
ReplyDeleteSo happy to hear you are recovering well after your surgery. I know all the hard work at physical therapy and pushing yourself will pay off. And, did I tell you how much I love this horse painting?! Its wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHi Hilda! So relieved to hear you are healing and sorry that it's difficult for you. You certainly have the right frame of mind that will ensure a complete and speedy recovery.
ReplyDeleteThis painting is incredible!!! And all the more so with the use of the palette knife!! WONDERFUL!!

ReplyDeleteHi my friend.
ReplyDeleteThis is a fantastic Painting. Everything about it is prfect. How did you manage it with your bad Arm? It must be getting better to produce this painting. You say you used your palette knife, is this an Oil Painting Hilda? All the best my friend.
Vic.
Oh Happy Day! Your arm is healing and you are into the oil paint!! Glad you are braving the therapy (not fun)! Love this piece and you have inspired me to pick up the palette knife! Your corn is fabulous! Looking forward to your next post!
ReplyDeleteHi Hilda - I wouldn't know from viewing this lovely work that you've been dealing with the aftermath of surgery! I know it's challenging with your arm still healing, but this piece is great and I'm so happy to see you back at work! Paint on!
ReplyDeleteYAY Hilda! So glad you are on the healing track and back to painting. The vibrant colors and detail are wonderful in this one. It has a real sense of presence and drawing my in.
ReplyDeleteWouw wat mooi zo knap met al details lieve groetjes Danielle
ReplyDeleteHola Hilda, pues sí que es muy duro este trabajo en el campo y también para ti, dibujarlo, porque aún no estás del todo curada. Pero ese esfuerzo que haces te vendrá muy bien y recuperarás antes. No sabes lo mucho que me alegra.
ReplyDeleteBueno, un magnífico óleo a pesar de las dificultades. Te felicito!
Un fuerte abrazo.
wow...what a great painting. That green is just so lush! wonderful work
ReplyDeleteSo pleased you are 'on the mend' Hilda. That's quite a tricky subject you've tackled with all the harness but you've achieved a great result. Looking forward to seeing more from you soon
ReplyDeleteWasreading your profile and that part - I have begun to see potential paintings in everything I see around me - it means only one thing - passion.
ReplyDeleteKeep that passion burning and you will be riding all your ups and downs in life.
I love this painting Hilda, and the work with the palette knife is superb. Glad to hear you're on the mend.

Oh my gosh I love this so much! Continued prayers coming your way for quick healing.
ReplyDeleteWow! this is so good. I love the look of the corn. So nice catching up with your great work. Hope you continue to heal well!!
ReplyDeleteRemarkable job on all the harnesses-what a challenge! Great job Hilda!
ReplyDeleteYou know it thrills me to,see you painting more. Love the diagnols and life they breath into the painting. Super
ReplyDeleteThis is such a beautiful painting Hilda! I have never painted a horse, but it looks daunting to do it well, and your two horses are amazing! I love the composition, and your palette knife corn in the wagon has wonderful texture. I didn't know that you had surgery. I hope that you are well on your way to a full recovery.
