September 30-in-30 Challenge – Day 8
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 […]

After the disaster that was day 6, I’m happy with my experiments for day 7. Another artist who’s work I really enjoy is Stephanie Law and she tends to incorporate spirals into her works in interesting ways. I’d been wanting to try something like that out and ended up making an attempt for today’s piece. […]

Well, I’ve been hinting about this one and here it is. As I described it to my husband – “It fell from the ugly tree and hit all the branches on the way down.” He promptly said he liked it, LOL! Go figure. I was trying for something like a nebula or a galaxy.. bright, […]

Went back to what I’d been doing before – layering paint onto paper. I really should come up with a name for these paintings, because they are definitely done in the same theme/technique/style/whatever and are more than just abstracts. Only 5 days into the challenge and I’ve noticed something – I’m on a green kick, […]

Day 4 (which was actually done on day 2.. gotta love working ahead!) is a revisiting of sorts of day 1. In retrospect, I shouldn’t have started in with the ink on my day 1 piece, but I did and while I’m not thrilled with how it turned out, I do like it overall. Today’s […]

So I actually started this piece on day 1 and finished it late on day 2, but it’s for day 3. Go figure. I also completed day 4 but that gets it’s own post. 🙂 So for this piece I honestly had an idea and a plan of what I wanted to do. What I […]

As I said yesterday, I had day 2’s painting done already, but I want to try posting these on the appropriate days. I need to get a better photo of this one, the bottom of the piece is too dark, but it’s late here and I don’t want to stay up too much longer. I […]

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 […]
