Day 3/30: "Winter Fruit"

"Winter Fruit"

12"x12"

Oil on Board

$500

Day 3 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge (round 3!) and my trusty pears are again today's subject.  I'll choose something different tomorrow because these are getting close to being perfect for eating!

These were painted on a board as opposed to the canvas I used yesterday.  I think I prefer the canvas for these.  It's funny how a different surface appeals to me for different subjects.  These are just the kind of experiments I love to do during these challenges, though...testing out surfaces, subject matter & color palettes, among other things.  The fall and holidays get so busy with commissions and shows that there is little time left for exploration.  I love that January is slower and allows me to do that!  

This challenge is the perfect encouragement for the growth I want to occur!

Day 2/30: "Resting Pears"

"Resting Pears"

6"x12"

Oil on Canvas

$375

Pears are on hand, so pears are the subject matter again today.  I love them and the subtle variations of green, gold, amber and red. I think they have a few more days before they become a healthy snack!  In the meantime, they'll be subject matter....how's that for starting the year off with frugality and using my resources? :)

Thanks for looking as always!  Here's hoping your new year is off to a good start!

Day 24/30: "Three's A Crowd"

"Three's A Crowd"

10" x 10"

Oil on Canvas

I went to grocery store in search of some nice produce to paint a few days ago and came home with not just sunflowers, but also pears, apples, jalapenos and strawberries!  Learning a valuable artistic lesson ..... don't buy more than you have time to paint!  I could have painted several paintings of jalapenos, but I jumped to sunflowers, etc.    Now the jalapenos are, uh, unpaintable.  

My eyes weren't bigger than my stomach....just bigger than my calendar!

Thanks so much for looking and have a great weekend!
