From My Word Bowl – 30 in 30 Painting # 12 I wasn’t going to bring From My Word Bowl back until after 30 Paintings in 30 Days and 29 Faces were finished, but I needed a little inspiration for today’s watercolor face. These were today’s words: Thanks for having a peek […]
30 in 30 – Painting 11 A simple and relaxing little painting of my favorite kind of northern, rocky shoreline. I much prefer this type of view to tropical shorelines. Unless it’s winter, then I’ll take the tropical beach. Thanks for having a peek today. Until next time, have a beautiful […]
Does This Ever Happen To You? Does a painting ever take over your creative process to the extent that you can’t work on, or think about painting anything else? I’ve been dealing with this for the last couple of weeks. Ten days ago, (ten days ago!) I posted this photo of a work in progress […]
30 Paintings in 30 Days – Paintings 9 and 10 Painting 30 paintings in 30 days is no easy task! I have three paintings that I am working on right now that are in various stages of “unfinishedness”. Lots of layers and lots of drying time and a fair share of repainting or painting over […]
One of my favorite ways to paint a face… drippy watercolor. This is my eighth painting for Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days and my 7th face for 29 Faces. Thanks for having a peek today. I’ll try to be back tomorrow with another painting. Until then, have a beautiful day and don’t forget to […]
30 Paintings in 30 Days – Days 6 and 7 Day 6 This one is titled, ‘Faith’ and was inspired by this week’s Life Book 2016 lesson by Angela Kennedy. Day 7 I was hungry when I started painting. Don’t paint when you’re hungry or you’ll end up with a quick, […]

Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days – Day 2 Today’s painting is another mixed media piece, with lots of layers. I named it, ‘Three Generations’. And a look at the details and texture… Thanks for having a peek today. I’ll be back tomorrow with another painting. Until then, have a […]
30 Paintings in 30 Days – Day 1 Once again, I’m taking part in Leslie Saeta’s Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days Challenge. It begins today and I’m happy to share my first painting with you. This is an 8 x 10 acrylic over collage piece, done on 140 lb cold press paper. Here is a […]
Please, could someone tell me how I started today’s painting with soft pastel colors and a very light hand…. and ended up with this…. ?????? Please click to see a larger version of this loose 9×12 inch journal page worked in acrylics, colored pencil and ink. There was a serious disconnect between what I thought […]
This is yesterday’s painting. I had wanted to post it last night but the light was too bad to take a picture. This morning’s light was of course better, but the colors are not true, (despite all my editing attenpts) as the original has more pinkish red through out. Thirty Paintings in 30 Days
Monday again! It rolls around so quickly. Today I have two water color paintings for you and a sketch. First the sketch which I did in color pencils so I couldn’t erase my lines, a suggested exercise by Jane Davenport. Painting Seventeen is another drippy water color girl. Painting Eighteen is water color also […]
