Day 56-Peacefulness

Day 56- Peacefulness

I decided I needed some peace and calm in my life so I painted these trees swaying in communication.

Day 55-Twilight Trees

Day 55-Twilight  Trees

More trees today. I am enjoying the texture and the possibilities of these marks. I wish that I could take that walk at twilight through trees such as these.

That truly is the beauty of being an artist-you can create your own world. How lovely.

I am feeling the project a bit today-this has been a great deal of painting! Fun for sure-but work.

5 days to go-now my attention begins to turn to such things as labels, hangers and all the other details involved with hanging a show.

Day 54- Bright Day

Day 54-Bright Day

Today I wanted to incorporate the new trees with some of the older shapes. Here is the result-they do work together. The brighter colors are a nice relief to the dull ones I used in Days 1-4. This has been a great experience-the focus on the work is so fun and I've become a better painter.


Now, only 6 paintings to go. I will also be painting at the gallery on the weekend of the show.

Day 53-Three Trees

Day 53- Three Trees

These trees are coming along-I like the playfulness of the patterns. More gestural than some previous work. Now it is time to combine these new shapes with the old ones and see what happens...

Day-52

Day 52- Sparkling Trees

These are a new direction for tree paintings-There is definitely possibilities here for more exploration and experimentation.

Day 51- New Trees

Day 51- New Trees

I've been thinking about trees and set up a problem for myself to break down trees into simple form. When considering tree they are complex with leaves and limbs, movement and direction. These two trees have life and movement. Watch for more trees in the upcoming days.

Day 50-Family Portrait:Baby Girl

Day 50-Family Portrait:Baby Girl

Day 50 ....the home stretch awaits me. 10 more paintings to go.


Today continues the Family Portrait Series. I decided to paint this one because we have two new Baby Girls in our family. I like the jaunty tilt of her head. All the girls and women in our family are "spunky" I would expect no less from these new additions.
