Summer Painting #8

It has already been a warm summer so far, so I thought that I would do a painting of a “cool” item from the suggested list. “Popsicle” is one of the suggestions on the list, though I am not sure why “ice cream cone” isn’t, but just as well, they are both a ton ofContinue reading “Summer Painting #8”

Summer Painting #7

Here is painting #7. One of my favorite flowers to grow and I am surprised I don’t have any here in my garden. I used to plant seeds every year when I lived in NJ and I would watch the goldfinches hang upside down to pull the yummy seeds out. I found one of thoseContinue reading “Summer Painting #7”

Summer Painting #6

One of the prompts for the daily painters challenge is “fish.” We have a mahi-mahi metal wall hanging that I have no idea where we inherited it from, but it has been in my father-in-law’s house in Port St Lucie, migrated to our Jensen Beach house where it sat in storage and then it movedContinue reading “Summer Painting #6”

Summer Painting #5

This is the last daily painting for this week. This is a small 4×4 painting of fireflies doing their summer evening dance in the dark. It was a little tricky because the fireflies in the painting are so small on the 4×4 surface. I almost did a 6×6 and I still may do a largerContinue reading “Summer Painting #5”

Happy Independence Day

This is one of the paintings that I did for today. I am debating on posting the other but AI poaching has me hesitant and I want to save some unpublished work for art directors, so that other piece will probably get turned into a postcard. This one is another 4×4 small art that IContinue reading “Happy Independence Day”

Summer Painting #3

Today’s painting is of a subject near and dear to my heart….sandpipers.  Sandpipers are comical little birds and I could sit and watch them over and over without ever getting tired of them.  They have their own personalities and there always seems to be a bully that wants to control the entire beach.  Disney PixarContinue reading “Summer Painting #3”

Summer Painting #2

Summer is such a fun time of year. Most of us look forward to the longer days where we have much more time in the evenings to enjoy being outside or even just getting things done around the house. The sun comes up earlier which means we can get out earlier to do our dailyContinue reading “Summer Painting #2”

Summer Painting #1

I have been doing some small daily paintings painted on small (and square) cradled wooden panels. I picked small formats because it’s easier to do a painting a day when you work small. I have been trying to think of some ideas for a calendar which is why the square format works best right now.Continue reading “Summer Painting #1”

International Chihuahua Appreciation Day

I had already done my “day” sketch earlier of National Chicken Dance Day. (I sketched a chicken, dancing. I have been going about my day working on some catching up, sketching and drawing away.  …listening to Zoom recordings either on repeat or ones that I missed.  Hoping to get to the juicy podcasts I wasContinue reading “International Chihuahua Appreciation Day”
