Fresh Air

Day 30 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge! Done! Oil, 6"x 6" on canvas, 1.5" sides painted black. No need to frame. I was lucky to finish this before I all of a sudden got sick, and ended up posting the photo from my phone in the emergency room! A bug of some sort, or food poisoning, no one knows for sure. Finally back to normal after sleeping for five days. I really enjoyed the challenge, even though not liking a lot of the results. Will try something new next September!

Amber Waves of Grain

Day 29 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. Oil, 6"x 6" canvas, 1.5" sides painted black. No need to frame. Inspired by the lyrics from America the Beautiful--spacious skies, amber waves of grain, purple mountain majesties. I haven't seen enough of our country, so that's on our list of places to go. I used to love to sing all the patriotic songs--at school, in Girl Scouts, at camp, even in public places on holidays. Not enough of that these days.

Free Rangin'

Day 28 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. Oil, 6"x 6" canvas, 1.5" sides painted black. No need to frame. Well, phooey! I'm supposed to be improving, but I definitely regressed today. My bad habit of getting into too much detail is what always gets me in trouble. I should have painted just normal, generic chickens! But, nooooo . . . I had to go with Buff Orpingtons, which are really beautiful chickens, but you'd never know if from this painting. Some good friends of ours raise these chickens, and I have so many photos of them! I tried to add some grasses and weeds, but it just made a blurry mess. Live and learn. Only two more paintings to go! SOLD!

Flower Garden

Day 27 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. Oil, 6"x 6" canvas, 1.5" sides painted black. No need to frame. I had planned to paint a variety of flowers--I liked the first poppy and painted more. Now I'm thinking they look more like pansies. So, generic flowers, your choice!

Day 25 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. Oil, 6"x 6" canvas, 1.5" sides painted black. No need to frame. From a photo taken by our daughter in northern Virginia, where they have 40" of snow. This is the moon in the western sky. I'll try this painting again, maybe larger, to get better depth in the landscape. This painting is SOLD.

Skating in the Snow

Day 24 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. Oil, 6"x 6" canvas, 1.5" sides painted blue. No need to frame. Outdoor skating can be fun, but hard to learn, especially in the snow!

Day 22 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days. Oil, 6"x 6" canvas, 1.5" sides painted black. No need to frame. This looks a lot like The Valley, that I painted on Day 14. It's farm country in the valley! Added some detail to the fields this time.

Day 19 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. Oil, 6"x 6" canvas with 1.5" sides painted black. No need to frame. Took this photo on a trip to St. Simon's Island. Couldn't resist the light on the water. Sold!

Beyond the Fence

Day 17 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. Oil, 6"x 6" canvas with 1.5" sides painted black. No need to frame. Not at all abstract, more impressionistic. But I really enjoyed painting it! This is the pasture behind our daughter's house in Virginia. This painting is SOLD!

Wildflower Patches

Day 16 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days. Oil, 6"x 6" canvas with 1.5" sides. No need to frame. I love a field of wildflowers. There are so many ways to paint them, so I did abstract.

Wisteria Wannabe

Day 13 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days. Oil, 6"x 6" canvas, 1.5" sides painted black. No need to frame. This experiment of painting abstract landscapes has been quite interesting. I have an idea of what I want to paint, and the result is nothing like it! I think I rely too much on the reference photos, and should probably use my imagination more. This painting looks more like octopuses, or snarls of purple spaghetti! Will keep plugging along. I LOVE wisteria, and enjoy seeing it draped over trees in all the wooded areas around town in the spring. For a noxious weed, it's really beautiful. I know some people plant it on purpose, but most of it is just purple gone wild!

Field of Weeds

Day 8 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. Oil, 6"x 6" on canvas, 1.5" sides painted black. No need to frame. An empty lot in our neighborhood--the shades of green I used in the middle might make you think it's a river! And I just realized that the green at the top looks more like mountains than the trees and shrubs that it's supposed to be. I'm learning! :)

Kennesaw Mountain in Summer

Day 3 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. Oil, 6"x 6" canvas, 1.5 inch edge painted black. No need to frame. There's a little abstraction in this one--the bright colors in the middle represent all the blooming wildflowers growing all over the acres of Kennesaw Mountain National Battlefield Park, on the mountains, the woods, the meadows and along all the hiking paths. The park is very popular with hikers and Civil War enthusiasts, and is free.

Day 2 of the 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge.

Oil, 6" x 6" on canvas, edges 1.5" painted black. No frame needed.

Still trying to think more abstractly. It will work better when I choose a new subject, I hope, after I finish with Kennesaw Mountain in the different seasons.
