Day 7 – Another Untitled Piece
Nothing much to really say here. I’ve yet again failed to come up with a title but that’s all right. It will let the viewer decide what they like about this painting rather than be influenced by the words I assigned. I’m really enjoying how the violet and turquoise blue look together. Overall very pleased […]

So in my usual timely fashion, I’m behind on posting my daily paintings. I have such good intentions, but then my book and comfy chair downstairs tempt me when I get home from work. Tonight I was ambitious though! Days 4 and 5 are sibling paintings, in that they started out life as one larger […]

Unlike yesterday’s painting, the title for Day 3 came to when I was almost done. I had been planning to do something for my Layers series in my usual greens and turquoise blue, but I ended up putting a bit of a twist in there. As the green layers were drying, I had the impression […]

When trying to think of names for my paintings, I usually come up blank (and I’ll probably name one of my pieces “Blank” one of these days). Sometimes, nothing comes to me when looking at the piece. Sometimes though, a name just pops into my head and in some cases, it sticks even if the […]

Here’s to another great year of fun and creativity! I’ve decided to start off 2016 with another 30-in-30 Painting Challenge, once again hosted by Leslie Saeta on her blog. It’s exciting to be one of hundreds of artists taking part. Here is my piece for Day 1. It started out as a planned piece to […]

So the September 30-in-30 Painting Challenge hosted by Leslie Saeta has ended and I managed to do 25/30 paintings for the month. That’s not too bad, actually, considering I had a mild art block in the middle of the month and then life happened for a bit there. I really did want to do the […]

So I disappeared for a few (okay, several) days there. I was still painting, but not with the verve that I started the month off with. Not sure what happened. I did have a bit of an art block but it wasn’t much of one. I’d fallen far enough behind that I ended up only […]

Today’s painting was actually inspired by a photograph posted on a forum I frequent. I just really liked the look and feel of the image and asked permission to try doing an abstract version. Mine has a far different atmosphere than his image does, mostly because it’s brighter looking rather than a moody evening long-exposure […]

So here’s that background I posted yesterday, finished with some retro circles in purple and crimson. I just felt like doing something simple so I got out the circle template and had some fun. Along with my trusty crow quill pen, this is the result. Day 17 – “Bubbles” Watercolor on paper 4″ x 6″ […]
