National Chihuahua Appreciation Day

I have so many Chihuahuas that I have sketched or painted that I had a bit of a tough time choosing which ones to post. I decided to repost some of my Tiny Dogs from my Tin Dog series of 2020. These tiny dogs were painted in a tiny sketchbook that was provided by theContinue reading “National Chihuahua Appreciation Day”

Painting Floral Arrangements on Heart-Shaped Wood

These floral arrangements are two little paintings completed on 4 x 4 wooden hearts. I purchased the wooden hearts around Valentine’s Day.  These hearts are only available around the holiday, so I purchased several packs before they disappeared until next year. Last year, when a friend asked me to paint a portrait of her catContinue reading “Painting Floral Arrangements on Heart-Shaped Wood”

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 I am debating on posting the other but AI poaching has me hesitant and I want to save some unpublished work for art directors, so that other piece will probably get turned into a postcard.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 #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”
