I also continue to prep canvases for painting. Thanks for stopping by.

Another canvas prepped for painting! I am a person who has to draw out what I'm going to paint. If I didn't have any guideline, I'd have a disaster! Thanks for stopping by.

I have found myself taking on the 30 Paintings In 30 Days Challenge only to have a temporary job come up that I need to take. This may put a crimp in my output, but I'm still trying. I may not get all 30 done but my goal was to start to painting every day again and so far, so good. These are what I have sketched out awaiting paint. Thanks for stopping by.

Ok, I got a little behind today and will have to make sure I catch up. Oh Boy!

Number 3: A little late but here he is, "Little Captain". If you are a Grimm fan you'll know what I'm talking about. Thanks for stopping by.

Number 2: "In The Distance". I'll be the first to admit I really don't do landscapes but, I wanted to try one. I'm a bit unhappy with the trees so I see revisions in the near future but, that's the wonderful thing about oil painting or almost any other type of painting, revisions are always possible. On to number 3 tomorrow! Thanks for stopping by.

Ok, .......30 Painting in 30 days, here we go. This is a very crude under painting of painting One, "Drifting". I probably shouldn't have chosen a 12x24 canvas to start! At the end of 30 days I will show the finished result. Again the most important thing for me, in undertaking the challenge, is to make myself paint every day. They say it takes 3 weeks to form a habit so hopefully, by the end of September, I will have made daily painting a habit again. (Remember this is the under painting and this painting will go through many changes before you see it again!) Thanks for stopping by.
