30-in-30 Challenge – Days 23-26

So I’ve gotten behind again on my daily paintings, but more from doing other work here on the website than from lack of motivation.  If you haven’t noticed, I’ve added my own shop here on the site instead of only relying on Etsy for (attempted) sales.  And I’ve gotten a bit ambitious working on days […]

30-in-30 Challenge – Day 22

This one is a complete change for me because it includes text.  In fact, that’s the whole reason I did this is because I love this phrase from the Pink Floyd song “Time”.  Well, I love the whole song but something with this phrase just resonates  with me. Day 22 – Something more to say […]

30-in-30 Challenge – Days 15-17

So I’ve been a slacker about posting these the past few days, but I have kept up and done days 15, 16, and 17. Day 15 was actually done on Thursday, but I’m just now getting the photo and editing done.  I packed up some supplies and took my work to work with me, painting […]

30-in-30 Challenge – Day 12

So I worked ahead this past weekend.  Partly because I was just in a creative mood and partly because I wanted to give myself some leeway for relaxing in the evening if I wanted. Day 12 was more about me being a bit silly, which is fine.  I just drew some lines on the paper, […]

30-in-30 Challenge – Day 11

Technically, it’s still the 11th for another 32 minutes here, so I’ve made it!  Although to be honest, I finished this piece yesterday but didn’t edit the photo to post online until this evening.  So it’s entirely my fault this has been posted so late. Still, day 11’s piece is one of my favorites so […]

30-in-30 Challenge – Day 10

Yes, we’ve reached one third of the way through Leslie Saeta’s 30-in-30 painting challenge.  Yay!  I’ve only completed 8/10 paintings but I’m still considering this a success so far.  I’m trying some new things out for fun, playing around with techniques and styles, and overall enjoying myself quite a bit, and what is art for […]

30-in-30 Challenge – Day 6

Happy Epiphany! So I’m playing catch up from taking the previous night off to worry about my sick dog.  Today’s effort isn’t my best.  I’m just not feeling it and day 7’s piece isn’t going like I’d like either.  I’m not done with that either so it’ll be a late post as well.  I’m trying […]

30-in-30 Challenge – Day 2

While waiting for my day 1 painting to dry, I went ahead and started on day 2’s painting.  I changed my direction a bit because while poking through my mugs holding brushes, pens and pencils, I found my inking nibs.  Well, they’re probably more like calligraphy pens, but whatever.  I’d gotten my yellow ink out […]
