30 Paintings in 30 Days

I've been trying to get caught up on my painting jobs.  Our cabin is at Murphy Lake, Saskatchewan and the little area where we live needs a new sign, and I got elected to create it.  This is the view from our cabin.  We love to listen to the loon's haunting song from our deck in the evenings.  

Day 3 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days

This is my third nest egg painting.  Why?  Well, I've been teaching nest classes, and I tend to get my painting to a certain stage, so my students can follow along, then I help and advise them, without finishing mine.  So, I have taken some unfinished ones, and really messed with them.  This one started out with a yellow ochre background, and the eggs were bright turquoise.   I am loving the purple!  

We are at our cabin at Murphy Lake right now.  So I painted between visits with my parents, our neighbours, and enjoying the view.  

My mom was excited when I pointed out the my painting matched her outfit. 

30 in 30. Day 2

This little nest is a painting that I started about a year ago.  I just finished it!  I have a huge Angel Wings painting on my easel right this minute, a commission I am working on. I will post it when it's finished. In the mean time, I'll post these little ones.

30 paintings in 30 days Challenge

I signed up for this painting challenge after hearing about it on Artists Helping Artists, a podcast I listen to.  I decided to try to consistently create a painting everyday!  Here is my first one.

Sometimes, you just change your mind......

I started this painting, for a show a local decorator, Dawn's Interiors, is hosting in her shop.  The show is called "A Prarie Winter". Round bales in the snow, so typical of the prairies. The more I worked on it the less I was happy with it, though. I got looking at more photos on Morguefile, a site that has copyright free photos you can use and I got re-inspired!  Then it turned into this!   Yup, painted right over that sucker!! And I LOVE it. 

It's 16 x 20  and my daughter, Angela, suggested the name " Storm", Perfect!  I dropped it off yesterday for the show.  Sometimes (always) it's better to stop the struggle and change directions.  

Have a great day!
