An Apple Today

6" x 6"Oil on Panel



It is a beautiful sunny October day. The temperature is perfect for plein air painting, but I went to the studio and worked on the 100. Today's offering is an apple. I think I am starting to get more color in the painting and am getting better at manipulating the paint in tight spots. Yeah!

Empire Dune

6" x 6" Oil on Panel



This is the Empire Dune at Sleeping Bear Dunes in Michigan. The original painting I did was done on site in about a 30 mile per hour wind. My big brimmed hat blew off, so I put on my baseball cap and tied in to my head with a bandana. I must have been a site! It was a beautiful day except for that wind blowing - no umbrella in use that day. I had to check my colors by holding a pizza box over my head to create some shade. There were changes I wanted to make in the painting which is the reason for the Daily Painting of Empire Dune.

Pear

6" x 6" Oil on Panel

I love pears and love painting them. They have simple shapes and provide lots of fun when you lather on the paint.

Second Posting. This painting is even smaller than yesterdays. I started by mixing values of the major colors I was going to use. I am working on values, and color as value.

This is my first published Daily Painting, although not the first Daily Painting that I have painted. This is certainly an interesting project. The plan is to create 100 paintings by the end of February. Wish me good luck. I still have my day job.
