September 30-in-30 Challenge – Wrap-up and Summary
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 […]

And here is today’s piece. I did it at the same time as “Flow” from day 12 but I added lavender bath salts to create a larger texture on the page (and make it smell like lavender!). I then decided to outline those areas and fill in the background space with lines, using white ink. […]

Another piece based on yellows and oranges, but even still, I had to include some greens in there, too. Couldn’t resist! Part of my untitled landscapey series, which I’ve yet to find a name for. I felt this one needed the addition of circles in yellow ink, but they aren’t quite so prominent as in […]

I decided to switch from the blues and greens I’d been using and go with something more fall-like. I had no plan in mind with this, so when I started adding the lines that became the flowers, it didn’t feel complete. This time, adding the blue ink lines and dots fit perfectly and I really […]

And thus begins my next foray into Leslie Saeta’s 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. I feel like I’ve gotten off to a rough start but I’m sure that’ll work itself out soon. For day 1, I think I should have left well enough alone and just had the background, instead of adding the ink. […]

Happy Sunday, folks! Right now I’m in a good mood because game 5 of the Stanley Cup Finals is tomorrow night and here’s hoping the Blackhawks win it at home! Oh, and I have some art and writing to share as well from the past two weeks. Storytime first – I’ve finished two “new” fanfiction […]

Seeing as my last State of the Art was back in week 8, I’ve disappeared from updating here for over 2 months. Pathetic. It’s not that I haven’t created any art in that time, but a fair amount was spent in an art funk of some sort that I’ve finally decided to just push through. […]

So here it is, my first “State of the Art” wrap-up for week 5, aka the week ending January 31. I meant to post this on Monday, but work and not feeling good-ness got to me, so it’s a day late. This week ended the 30-in-30 Painting Challenge hosted by Leslie Saeta that I took […]
