Here are some of the pictures, the first picture is the still life and the other two are the painting in progress.

Day 6 of the 30-day Challenge

As promised here is day 6 of my 1 a day for 30 days. This one was clocked for 1 hour, I did have to get up a few times but I did manage to get something decent, at least I think. I did a still life of a fresh lime from my garden IContinue reading “Day 6 of the 30-day Challenge”

Day 2 of the 30-day Challenge

Day 2 of my 1 a day for 30. Once again the canvas size for this one is 6×8, it was a bit challenging once again felt frustrated from the beginning and not clear on my objective.

It was not easy but let’s see howContinue reading “Day 1 of the 30-day Challenge”

30-day challenge update – day 2

It’s been a week and I had originally painted day 2 of the 30-day challenge but did not post because I had company, my daughter’s birthday and being distracted with the event. The lonely Shallot was painted in 2 hours, I had a hard time with it especially the translucency of the skin. I willContinue reading “30-day challenge update – day 2”

Fresh off the easel…

This painting was finished 2 days ago but due to hurricane Irma preparation, I have not been able to post. Currently, Irma is kicking South Florida’s butt and as I receive the play by play from my mother who is currently going through it and is experiencing 100+ winds I needed to get my mindContinue reading “Fresh off the easel…”

Fresh Off the Easel- “Partly Cloudy with Lemon Showers”

This piece was painted for an entry exhibit about lemons – I decided to be me and just have fun with the piece and express myself. Lemons are sour and are considered a symbol of disappointment and faultiness, but it is also considered in some other cultures a sign of fruitfulness good fortune -for exampleContinue reading “Fresh Off the Easel- “Partly Cloudy with Lemon Showers””
