Day 14 and 15: Double Dose

in

Missed the blog yesterday so I'm making it up with a double dose today. Fabulous Sunday started with nothing to do but putzing around in the studio drawing and painting with my best friend. What a gift! So grateful.

Heather Earnest now has her own website! Check it out! heatherearnest.com  More paintings to come!!

Nancy. the cactus is my favorite piece of yours since we started this! Nice!

Pat Weaver is teaching Portrait and Figure in Watercolors this weekend at her studio in Dade City and doing fantastic work! Check out her site HERE.

Day 13: Daily Blogging

in

Painting on drawing on paper on pressed tin on collage on wood panel. Got that? haha. And 2 of them!  The daily painting has proved itself easier than the daily blogging, frankly. Paint, photograph, gather artists' emails. create witty banter. Repeat. Heather, Nancy, Lynn, Pat and I are having fun with this though! Join me-- you past members of my workshops. Do a daily painting and send it to me! Or a weekly one. You know me and rules...very loose. Just be surprised by the daily blog.

Day 11: More Minis

4" x 4" acrylics is where we were at today! Praying for your speedy recovery Lynn!

Day 10: Choose

in

Day after Labor Day and back to reality....school, work and painting! That's right. Making the time. I used to say "there's not enough time in the day", but then I realized that we all have exactly the same moments. We can choose how we use them. I recommend painting or drawing or cooking or sewing for 30 minutes rather than watching mindless tv for example. Be the change you want to see in the world. And I want to see a creative one.

Today, I painted my Mom with her doll carriage. Love you Mom! Pat Weaver was rocking it again with "fast and loose" watercolors. Love that free-ness! Nancy Johnson's work got beautifully esoteric being inspired by the book Paint Yourself Calm. Heather Earnest was inspired by the puppy on the loose since all she wanted to do was high tail it out of her job today! lol. And all our thoughts and prayers are with you Lynn Ashford...good luck tomorrow and speedy healing from your Daily Painting friends!!

Day 9: Labor Day at the Beach!

in

Happy Labor Day! Since this Daily Painting experience is play not work, we were diligently on it! I paid homage to the day by painting the beautiful Ponce Inlet, where we had fun with the kids and the puppies today. This is what I imaged it looked like without the chaos of 3 goldendoodle puppies. Heather symbolically paid respects to having Labor Day off by painting her tools! Lynn and Nancy sent me their photo from the studio and I love it!!

Day 4: Watercolors, Puppy Paintings, Margaritas, Beers and Friends Joining the Challenge

in

Day 4 for me consisted of studio building shopping, Nate's homework, and Mexican food with Heather's parents, so my watercolor of the day happened post cocktails. Heather was more disciplined and got hers finished pre-margaritas.  Lynn Ashford and Nancy Johnson have joined us in the fun. Welcome ladies---I love it!! Paint with us and send me your daily painting!

Here they are!
