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"

Using Acrylics on Canvas 16x12

I have 6 or 7 paintings that I have started theses past few months and never finished for one reason or another. So thought if I posted them here, might get me going to finish them. WIP means work in progress. One of my goals this year is to complete works while I still have the drive for them. I seem to start to loose interest, when they are not finished quickly(for me thats a week or two). I'ts not that I don't like them, but I need to keep the "juices flowing" so to speak on my paintings.

Have drawn in just the main parts and done some of the underlayer, working on my color values when I do the underlayer, lights and darks make the painting. I want strong contrasts for this.
