30 Paintings in 30 Days starts today. I've enjoyed getting motivated by this challenge. Here's my first one.... check out the others on Leslie Saeta's blog: http://lesliesaeta.blogspot.com/
This is from a reference photo I took at the park this fall. There's a great farmer's market at Tower Grove Park in St. Louis, and while you're shopping you can listen to live music. Just on the other side of the pavillion there is this wonderful fountain that the little kids love to play in. Luckily I had my camera and got a few good shots.
Last time, I tried these from below eye-level, so thought I'd change things up and get them more on eye-level. That way I could include the blue vintage ball jar. ( like the ones I used to sell in the antique booth )
On a recent visit to Palm Beach to visit my friend, we stopped on the way from the airport at this great seafood restaurant. I snapped this shot as we left. Not quite finished. Gotta put the finishing touches on tomorrow.
We (my sis and I) visited a little town called Labadie Mo. a couple of weeks ago to do some lunch and look for antiques. We stopped to get a few images of this awesome feed store. I've always wanted to paint some of these abstract shapes and forms. I love the light and shadows they create.
