Thirty Paintings. Thirty Days.
California Impressions # 10
WOOT! Getting this one in under the wire today. I don’t know where you live but in California it’s still day # 10.
And I’m still in the game.
This puppy’s a bit smaller than the last few. Doin’ a 40 x 40 inch canvas after a full day of teaching ain’t gonna happen. And I wanted to do a rowboat….

Oh well, at least I got the pond.

The last couple of days I’ve been using oils. Been getting down and dirty and making a mess in the studio. I take them as far as I can in one sitting and then I have to stop. And wait. Days, maybe a week or so until the surface is dry enough to play on again. So this one, as well as #7, could quite possibly evolve and reappear later on in the series.
We shall see.
Tomorrow may be a surprise. I’ve been having visions of rowboats dancing in my head. Canoes.
We shall see. . .
Thirty paintings. Thirty Days.
California Impressions # 8.
You see this painting, the one down below? I started it earlier in the summer but found it so boring I walked away.
Just. Like. That. Said see ya and found my heart in other canvases.
Until today.
Work in progress
Today I walked into the studio and said, “C’mere darlin’. Mama’s gonna bling you up.”
And I pulled out the oils and went to town. YEE-HAW!!!

Buh-bye boring. Buh-bye.
Still a work in progress, paint has to dry before I do anything more. By the way, this is another big puppy, 40 x 40 inches. And I’m a tired girl from all that painting…
Till tomorrow–
Thirty paintings. Thirty days.
California Impressions # 7.
Yesterday BOLD. Today BIG.

This puppy is 40 x 40 inches. Not quite finished, I had to stop early and go to a wedding. Great time– love, friends, food . . . really, sometimes it’s good to get out of the studio.
But I’ll be back in it tomorrow, finishing this one and catching up with # 8.
Thirty paintings. Thirty days.

Learning to loosen up, to let go of the original image. I’m thinking the next one wants a bigger canvas. Much bigger. And a mean air guitar and da Boss and some crazy ass studio energy because I do believe I’m ready to JUMP.
And you’ll just have to come back tomorrow to see how far.
