Day 27 - Learning to Fly

So, being an artist is just like being any other kind of person. When you get sick as a dog, many things you want to be doing come to a screeching halt. This happened to me this weekend and as such, the 30 in 30 I am participating in has taken an abrupt back seat to concentrating on getting better. On another note, I found this great website called 'Thought Questions' and thought I'd share a question that resonates with me. 

The question is "If you woke up tomorrow with no fear, what would you do first?"  So many people responded with answers that included flying in one way or another - flying to Europe, skydiving, taking a plane to a different country...  After painting this, the title seemed appropriate.  It seems we all want to get away, but fear is keeping us tethered to the ground.  Dreaming of birds, dreaming of the sky... Learning to fly.  This painting is up for bid on my page of the Daily Paintworks auction.  To place a bid, click here, or the link below the picture.

Day 3 - Puff

So, painting later in the day on a gray Saturday... after getting to bed way past my bedtime (4 a.m.!) (oops...) is not an easy thing to do.... But I am pleased with how today's painting came out!
Here is day 3's installment for the 30 in 30... a simple little chickadee named Puff...
I am putting this little bird up for auction on my Daily Paintworks web page starting at just $40... if you are interested, bidding lasts 7 days starting today!  Click here to go to my DPW site and see what its all about!

Cloud sketch for commission

I am completing a house commission right now and needed to work out some colors and forms for the clouds I am including in the sky.  This little 4"x4" painting is a cloud sketch I did today for this purpose.  I am offering this for auction on DPW with a starting bid of $15 if you are interested!

I can't help it, I love thick paint!  This is a close up of the above painting.
 It may be little, but it packs a punch.
