Day 11- of the 30 Paintings in 30 Day's Challenge. 

 No Flower model today so I used a website called Paint My Photo.  It's a great photo reference site that photographers allow artist's to use their photo's as long as you reference the source like I did here >  by EvyMiller  PMP.  

 Oh yes the daisy!!  well mostly what I would say about it is that WHITE and all shades of white drive me crazy!!  

Also, I have a dog named Miss Daisy and she is crazy too.

Day 10 - Peony & Buds

The set up.

Day 10 - 30 Paintings in 30 Day's Challenge.

I didn't have any live Peonies so I used an older painting from about 2005 shown on the right.  I liked the flowers in it.  The white jar thingy in the back is wonky and sometimes older paintings get a redo.  Glad I didn't redo because it worked as a decent model!  :)

Day 9 - Blooming Onions

Day 9 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Day's Challenge.  

What can I say about Blooming Onions....really they are Chives right?  This is the 3rd maybe 4th time painting this subject.  One was a needlefelt version.

I love that they return every Spring with a flower like bloom and also tastes great in a salad.  So there you go!

from a photo of some I got for Mother's Day a couple years ago.

SO what happened to Day 7?  are you paying attention?  

Didn't think so.  No worries.  If you really want to see

Day 6 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Day's Challenge hosted by artist Leslie Saeta.

I had this canvas panel already primed a nice orangy/red background.  For some reason I decided to just leave it as is for now......I may change it later and claim another painting! hehe.

Day 5 - 30 Paintings in 30 Day's Challenge.

Not used to acrylics but I like how you can make a "wash" with them.

Have been using up all of my paints...from professional quality to cheap crafty paint.  The only real bummer is they dry out quicker than oils.  

No worries.

Do it for the process!

The set up. plastic flowers. Yes plastic. 

I'm not a fan but they are good models and don't wilt. 

I added more pink than what they really were.

This is day 4 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Day's challenge.

Oh boy it's good to be up in the art room playing again!

Day 2 - 30/30 Challenge - 

All I can say about this one is that I focused more on my red tin....and white flowers are VERY challenging.  Having fun though and trying to remember "do it for the process"!

It's back!  The 30 Paintings in 30 Day's Challenge hosted by Leslie Saeta. 

I took a break last year because we moved and have mostly been painting walls and furniture.  

Last Summer I had a pretty nice garden going so I am thinking of painting some flowers that popped up.  That's the great thing about a new yard, not knowing what the former owners planted.  We had lot's of surprises including a late blooming Lilac tree and what I painted today, Cone Flowers.

Not going to worry if it's finished or not.  This time around it's "do it for the process".   :)
