This is 8×8, done in Golden fluid acrylics on a museum quality box canvas. I was thinking about our local beach as I worked…and tried to capture the strong shadows we get at this time of year.

First daily painting for 2007

Looking forward to 2007
Okay, so I have been a bad, bad blogger. Mum’s health dramas have got in the way something shocking. She’s on the mend again however.
But no more excuses: enough already!! What follows is the promise I made to an art group I belong to. Here’s the promise, now hold me to it… LOLHave a great 2007 everyone.
I’ve been reading what artists say happens when they make a firm commitment to doing a piece of work a day. It changes things in all kinds of ways. I don’t normally do any new year resolutions but this time I am. You guys are my witnesses and can slap me senseless if I start making excuses 🙂I WILL make 1 piece of art a day, every day, for all of 2007.
Conditions: can be a painting, collage or whatever.
must be between 4×4″ and 8×8″
must be put on my website each day
no excuses acceptedShare this:

Playing with pastels
I started the day with getting my “Saturday jobs” out of the way. You know the ones; washing, dishes, beds, animals, shopping. Only did half what I should of course 🙂Then it was into my art room and out with the pastels. I haven’t used them for a while but a book I’ve been reading inspired me to get back to them. I love the directness of the colour application.
I did three quick paintings, each continuing to explore the “Italy from above” theme. Great fun, and I’m particularly pleased with this square one.
I knew Tony wouldn’t like them, so while he was watching me I asked him to say something nice. Pause…
Umm, it doesn’t anything like the reference photo.
Is that your best comment?
I think so, he says..
Well done Tony – it wasn’t meant to look like the photo. LOL
Gotta love him!!Share this:

Keeping on working…
It’s been an eventful few weeks. ..Meg, our bulldog, has lymphatic cancer and the vet thought she might also have a large melanoma on her knee. Turns out to be something else thank goodness, so we have some more pills to trick her into swallowing 😉
Mum’s been more unwell than usual and has needed a lot of nursing – so I haven’t been getting a lot of sleep the last few weeks.
But what I understand about myself is that I need to keep making art, regardless, otherwise I get even more tired and grumpy.So, these 3 paintings are some of what I’ve been fiddling round with: the two square landscapes are in preparation for a pre-Christmas exhibition in Hawera, the mainly purple and blue abstract is more exploration for the “Italy from above” series.
