New 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

I've been like a pinball bouncing back and forth between this blog and my blog on my website. I have known I needed to light on one and stay there. It's just that they both have features I like. However, I've decided to only use the one on my website.

I'll be doing another of Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge beginning September 1. Only a few days away! I've chosen some specific challenges for the 30 days which you can read about here if you'd like. Anyway, all the paintings completed for the challenge and any other paintings will be found on that blog.

Thank you for following this blog over my sporadic posting! If you would like to see what I'm up to you can follow me by clicking on the rss feed button here. I promise to be more consistent going forward!

My first painting done from a Daily Paintworks challenge photo. Just in time for Valentine's Day, even if they aren't roses.

Day 23 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days

I can't wait till I am familiar enough with this subject to really have some fun with it! White on white is always a challenge for me, and the shape of this particular cup is more challenging than the ones with more curves. And the fork - I'm fascinated with trying to paint a fork!

Day 22 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days

After two scrapers and some lunch, I stuck with this one. Not exactly what I hoped for, but, hey, it's my first fork!

As I was playing with this setup I looked down to see my old Black Lab scarfing up the other slices of orange I had planned to add, so this is the meeting that remained.

This painting was done immediately after yesterday's. Both were painted outside on my deck on a rare warm day for January. The first was done with the palette knife. Between paintings I received an order of new brushes and wasn't going to open them right away. I changed my mind, opened them and, voila, this is the result of new brushes. I hadn't realized how long it had been since using new brushes - so nice to have new ones!

This one was done with palette knife just for something different. Sometimes working with a palette knife keeps me from getting too picky, which I always consider to be a good thing.
