Day 12

Day 12 of the 30/30 challenge

     I went looking at the thrift store for some new stuff for my paintings and found this adorable pair of shoes, and couldn't resist the print on the inside.    I love painting the patent leather, with it's reflective surface and the cute straps to hold the shoes on with buckles.  I remember putting these on my daughter and granddaughters, as well.  They are so fun to paint.  

Day 7

Day 7 of the 30/30 challenge

     I love these little maryjane shoes.  My sister found these for me at the thrift store, and I love painting them..... The memories of my own daughter, or granddaughters are revisited.  

     I think maybe I'll try painting them again, only in a 30 minute format later today.... wish me luck !

(there is a lot going on in these little shoes, and if I shorten the time painting them I will have to limit the details... but then again, that's part of the challenge, and part of the fun)

Painting #3

     Here's a different perspective on these little guys.  They are such fun to paint, and remind me of my darling grandbabies. 

Daily Painting Again

Getting back into the Daily Painting BIZ.....Hopefully my newer style will show through. 

    Now, you know we can't go through life without distractions, but I'm going to stay focused, and not let them take over... ha ha !  That's what happens when you love to do EVERYTHING.... but I want to paint SOOO badly.... so, here goes.....

Day One Hundred-Fifteen

                                            'Katie Bear'

6 x 8 oil on panel

nfs

     Not the same portrait as her sister... This one is growing on me, though.  I attempted the 12 x 12 canvas of Katie, but haven't gotten the likeness that I wanted.. I might just put it aside and start over on another one later one, but til then, this one I'll frame for her Mom and Dad !   If a portrait doesn't work well, I can only tweak it so much, and then it starts to get 'tired' looking... (I get a bit tired, too... at least tired OF IT !)
      Still love doing portraits, though !!
