Leslie Saeta is an artist well known for her blog talk radio show "Artists Helping Artists". I've been enjoying her show for almost a year now. Last January she challenged her listeners to do 30 paintings in 30 days and to post those paintings on her blog. In September she did it again. I understand last January she had a hundred artists participate. This January there are over four hundred! I didn't participate in the first two and lived to regret it. So I'm not missing out this time. Today is day 4 of the challenge. You can check it out here.

Day 353 Forcing Bulbs

 

 

Forcing Bulbs

Oil on Gessobord

While at Mobacks checking out the poinsettias, I noticed a big basket of of paperwhite bulbs. It occurred to me that a pot of delicate, fragrant, bright white flowers would be a great way to brighten up a dark winter day. Even more important, it would give me a new fresh flower to paint. :)

My youngest daughter Megan has been showing some consistant interest in oil painting, much to my delight. So for Christmas we got her a pochade box and paints. The other day she grabbed on orange, sat it on the counter and started painting (see below). I thought it was such a fun composition I decided to try it too, with Megan's permission of course.
