Thirty Paintings In Thirty Days - Day 6

 

"Oh Oooooo  She's Found the Hair Dye"

Acrylics 12" x 12" on 2" Box Canvas

Had great fun with color doing this painting. 

Was not my original intentions,  the brushes just took over, and I just followed along.

It was a good week with this challenge, trying at times, as I'm not in the groove yet, but, I can feel a good change in all this...

My goal this week, it to get all caught up and simplify my compositions somewhat.

Thirty Paintings In Thirty Days - Day One

"Market Marrakesh Morocco "

Acrylic 12"x6" on Canvas

I really enjoyed painting this scene, I could feel and see the heat of the hot desert, and the wonderful smells of all the spices and exotic goods sold here.  My wish is that you can see and smell those things too.

This painting was done for a New Painting Challenge for September that I'm participating in....... 

"Thirty paintings in 30 Days"

Yes, that's something for me, but I'm not alone,

Young Woman 2 Vine Charcoal Quick Drawing

Have been working with some Vine Charcoal drawings last couple of days
Thought I'd post them.  These are quick drawings, quite rough, nothing fancy,  or extra fixing done.
I often like to use ball point pens to do this , as you can't erase those and I like the challenge.....Of course like anything else, the more you do these, the more you learn and the better you get....

 This one was done with charcoal and conte for the hair.......

Close up.........

Though hair not finished, or any work on features will be leaving these as is, my challenge was on doing these quickly, less than 10 min or so each.......

Both are drawn in my sketchbook  size about 9x12"each.
This is how I do my sketching and drawing.For these quick one's I like to just leave them alone after the time is up. :)   Thanks for looking, love to hear from you......

News April 1st 2010

Wow, three months into the year already!! The birds have flown away with my time!!
Different things going on with me......


First off,........Two weeks ago I was the Host for a "Weekend Drawing and Painting Event" (called a WDE) at  WetCanvas  the largest International Artists Forum owned by F&W Publications. Here's the Invitation


This event starts on the weekend and runs till the next Friday the Host publishes some references, and Artists from all over the world from all types of media, produce paintings etc. from these.   Image Thread  Then they publish them for all to see and comment on during that week. It's amazing to see how each artists' painting is so unique, and the wonderful camaraderie that is established through the participation of the event. My goal as the Host, was to keep the artists interacting with each other, and the event rolling along. It was such a great honor to do this, for me. I also Hosted one back in November 2009.


I will also be Hosting an Event in the Florals Forum of WetCanvas during the Month of  May this year. 
Will update with more information as we get closer to  the end of the month.  This will cover all kinds of Flora  including Botanical.  It's open to all Artists and Mediums..


Also on a Personal note.  I received an Invitation to a Wedding from my Niece Megan and her Fiance Stephan. I'm so happy for them, and thrilled they are going to tie the knot.  I'm going to get a great holiday out of it as it's to be held at a vacation resort in the Okanogan , the May long weekend..
I've been shopping  already, you know how women are LOL.


I have no Paintings to post today, so thought I would post a recent photo of my guy...... Keeta.   My shadow, my studio mascot, and artist.....loves paint, loves to try play with paint. LOL

Islamorada The Florida Keys

New painting I did last week from WetCanvas on one of their painting events. The host for this one was from Florida, so I just had to do the Keys. This was done Alla Prima painting ( in one sitting) . Found this one a delight to do, it went quickly and smoothly, and I put the brush down quickly to keep from fooling around with it too much. What do you think?
Worked with Acrylics on 11 x 14inch wrapped canvas.
