Painting 14 of 30!

Laguna Beach, 6"x6" oil on canvas



Dear friends,

Today for painting two of thirty, I decided to work smaller and create a painting inspired by Laguna Beach, California.

I love the ocean and I took this photograph last year, when I went to the Pageant of the Masters.

Tomorrow I may work a bit larger. Would love to hear your comments on this piece.

Love,
Glad

30 Paintings Challenge

Pink Flower, 8"x10" oil on canvas


Happy New Year my friends!

Here is painting one of the thirty paintings I plan to do this month.

This painting took me a bit longer than I expected, which is great because I'm already learning to evaluate the complexity of the painting before deciding to paint it, and leave the more complicated paintings for when I have more time.

The paintings I will create during the next 24 days are from photographs I took and put it in my "Future Paintings" folder, so there may not be a theme, other than they were in this folder, waiting for me to paint.  

This particular painting is from a photograph I took last year, while visiting watercolor artist Tom Tiedeman. I don't really know the name of the flower, but if you do, let me know. I just saw it and found it to be so beautiful. 

Enjoy you day.

Love,
Glad

Happy New Year!

Sweetness, 5"x7" oil on canvas panel



Dear Friends,

I decided to participate in the Leslie Saeta's January 2014 challenge of 30 paintings in 30 days!

Leslie held this challenge twice last year for the first time and I so wanted to participate, but as some of you may know, last January I had surgery. Then the second time she held it, I had just moved and there was so much stuff to catch up on. 

This time I don't really have that much extra time, but that's why it's a challenge right.  I truly can't wait but I still have no clue what to paint, so I'm asking for your help.

Please attach a photograph below that you took or have rights to it, that you would like me to consider for one of the 30 paintings.  There is no compensation if I choose your painting but you can see the painting on this blog and on my facebook page, with credit to your photograph.

May you have a wonderful happy New Year! Let the fun begin :)

Love,
Glad
