DAY 1 painting 2

 DAY 1, painting 2
Almost every day I go by the Blue Heron paper plant and think about painting some pictures of it.  So, finally, last week, I took pictures to see what might be interesting.  I adore all the curves, lines, windows and cat walks.  I want to see what the inside looks like too. This painting is 12" x 16" acrylic on canvas.

DAY I painting One

Day 1 Painting One
Time for round 2 of 30 paintings in 30 days. Made it to 20 last time.  Let's see what happens this time.
While looking through postcards and pictures I have taken of Paris flea market chairs I found this beautiful light purple chair.  It looked like something I might like to paint.  So, I began to paint and it seemed like entirely too many layers later it almost looked like that chair.  And then I took the scrub brush to it and like it much better.

DAY 27, paintings #19 & 20

DAY 27, paintings #19 & 20

So today I took a trip to the south of France and Cezanne was my teacher.  It is amazing how much there is to learn from art book pictures.  Of course my colors are a little different and the houses might get new names. I am so intrigued by landscapes.
The first one "she opened up her eyes" to a most wonderous view. How did she get here?
The second one "just a little quiet" is from the area in France where Cezanne painted quite a few landscapes. I should like to travel there one day . . . even if only in films.

DAY 24, painting #18

DAY 24, painting #18
Taxes got in the way of painting yesterday.  And now I am all done.  This morning I was greeted with the most beautiful pink sunrise that brought a huge smile to my face. I only hope to catch the joy it brought me.

DAY 22, painting #17

Day 22, painting #17
Sometime around 40 I was introduced to Martha Stewart, Tracy Porter, Shabby Chic and Trisha Guild.  They each taught me something about the art of entertaining.  I started experimenting with colorful plates and glasses, then all white formal settings, then lots of candles with tulle and sparkles. And after all this time, I like to mix and match with anything I have in the house.  It was like these women said PLAY with your food.  So I have a rule...

DAY 21, painting #16

Day 21, painting #16 . . . oh my goodness . . .
I like chairs.  I have blue chairs, green chairs, red chairs, black chairs, beige chairs, leather chairs and even a couple of soft yellow chairs.  So it is not surprising that I often paint chairs and not just on canvas but the ones in our home.  Come fall I always seem to want to paint one coral and in the spring lime seems to make sense.  Thank goodness for spray paint and do overs.
Enjoy!

Day 20, painting #15

Day 20, painting #15
I am so glad for soft pink narcissus.  They make me smile during the day and I believe that we are entering spring time every time I look at them. Thank you dear flowers.
Enjoy!

DAY 19 painting #14

Still lifes seem like a contradiction to me.  At least my life never seems still.  Yet, so many paintings are called still lifes.  They are just a one second stop in the action around them that takes a bit longer than one second to paint.
Enjoy!

DAY 18 painting #13

I taught a class today to 4 lovely ladies and while preparing for it I was looking at Matisse still lifes.  I could not resist painting this one. It does not have a title yet.
Enjoy!
