Day 354 Leslie's 30 in 30 Challenge
Winter Still Life Oil on Linen Panel 5" x 7"
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.
Megan's last oil painting.......for now.

Day 353 Forcing Bulbs
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. :)

Day 352 Megan Inspires Me
Megan Inspires Me Oil on Gessobord 6" x 6"
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.
Not bad for an eleven year old! :)

Day 350 Happy New Year!
Happy New Year!
I'd like to wish you and your family the very best in 2014. Also, I'd like to thank you from the bottom of my heart for your interest in my art and taking the time to view these daily paintings. Your support is tremendously appreciated!
We spent the first day of 2014 visiting with my brother and his family in Everson. The visit included a bicycle ride next to the river near his home. I found a great spot to set up and paint. Then I discovered I'd left my white paint back at the house. :( Don very kindly went back to get it for me but I just decided to take lots of painters license with paint I already had.....
