September 30-in-30 Challenge – Day 5

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, […]

September 30-in-30 Challenge – Day 4

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 […]

September 30-in-30 Challenge – Day 3

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 […]

September 30-in-30 Challenge – Day 2

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 […]

September 30-in-30 Challenge Begins! Day 1

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.  […]

State of the Art for Week 5

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 […]

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 – Day 21

This one was a quickie, to be honest.  I worked on it between doing day 20 and day 22, so I had 3 going at once.  Mostly, I wanted a vibrant piece in reds and oranges and yellows, so here it is. Day 21 – Dancing Sun Watercolor on paper, 5.5″ x 6.5″
