It's Paint Party Friday! Yeah! I joined up with this group of artists just over a month ago. I have been loving it. The camaraderie is just awesome. So today, I will be showing one of my latest finished paintings. I haven't put a varnish on this one yet, but I wanted to show it.
"My Memory Doesn't Serve Me Well"
by Lesley Litrento
30" X 30"
This painting developed over a distance of time. It is a painting that is covering a previous work that I completed. The previous work was a painting for my daughter's room with large geometric designs on purple. She hated it, so the canvas sat unused for quite sometime. There are still bits and pieces of that original painting in this one. Pieces that only I know are there. Here are some detail images of the painting.
Hope you enjoyed the sneak peek into The Homeless Finch Studios. For those of you who are new, don't leave too quickly! Take a look around my blog and check out my most popular posts highlighted on the right column. If you aren't a follower, come join me! I would love to have you follow along.
Have a great weekend full of fun and creativity!

Fabulous! I love that piece, keep it up!!
I really like this. I'm such a layer fiend so it's right up my street!
I love the layering in this! You are making me want to paint again!
The layering technique is SO COOL! You make me want to learn to paint.
It's beautiful Lesley! And the title speaks to me as well!

I really like this one. The name grabbed my attention, but the design kept me reading. How interesting to me that you painted over a painting.
Lesley, I love it. Love the layering, the colors, everything. Awesome.
it's gorgeous! (and the title is great). The layers and depth are inspiring and I love that it carries a history and secret meaning underneath.
A wonderful painting! It really feels great to finish something, doesn't it!
I love the shades and the abstraction of it.
Great painting!
Love the theme/style..
Happy PPF! My second wk here!

Ohh this just might be one of my favorite paintings of yours. Hope to get to see it in person at some point!
G O R G E O U S! There aren't enough words for me to express how much I love this piece. The mix of colours, the depth - it's just beautiful!
Happy PPF!
Thanks for posting those closeups so we could see the detail... this is great and I love those glimmers of purple coming through so much... they pop... happy PPF xx
I just love it...I am in awe of these type of art works ..I have never attempted to do one ...afraid of utter failure. I wish canvas and paint was given out free...them I wouldnt worry about failure ...I like your tree and I like the leaves they simplicity of them and yet the detail of the texture is very cool.

I like the painting and the title is great. You've got lots of interesting textures and layers in this painting. It's beautiful.
ooh i love it! the color palette is so warm . beautiful work, lesley!
The colors are awesome!
I like this painting. The colors are great and I'm wondering about the title because it reminds me of me. My memory hasn't been serving me well as of late. Interesting. Happy PPF, job well done.
Layering makes a work interesting because it's like there's a secret! I like this! Patsy from
