30 paintings in 30 Days. Day 14

Day 14. January 14th. 

Today's painting is of a handsome pup named "Ricky".  

   I used to work with Ron in my "other life" when I worked in banking.  He and his lovely wife Christine, are some of the nicest people you'll ever meet.  Christine sent me a couple photos of Ricky , their " Granddog " to use in my 30 in 30 challenge. I noticed in the background of the photo, the decor of the room was what I would consider, Shabby Chic.  A white slipcovered wing chair, a a carpet with pink roses on it. So I decided to use  a loose rose background for Ricky's portrait. I also created a time lapse video of a portion of the painting and posted it on my Instagram page and my Facebook page. The link to my Facebook is on the sidebar here.

Day 18

I have missed a couple days. I taught a class yesterday, then had a "family" day today. This horse painting was an evolving thing. I started with glueing some music and poetry on the canvas. Then I darn near covered them up!! I did some finger painting again, too.

30 paintings in 30 days.

I didn't post a painting yesterday, I worked all day on a commission and I'm not totally sure it's finished.  Today's painting is one that I reworked a couple times, and I'm quite happy with it now. 

This painting has been dark purple, light purple and now back to dark purple. I tried to edit the photo so that it looked more purple than blue, but there it is.  Angel wings on purple

30 Paintings in 30 Days. Day 7

When I walked  into my studio at 4:00 this afternoon, I didn't know what I was going to paint. I really love painting horses, even though I'm not a rider and

 I had taken a bunch of photos of the horses in the wagon camp during the CPCA Chuckwagon finals week here in Lloydminster.  This horse belongs to Wayne Knight, from St. Walburg, Saskatchewan.   I call this one
