Day 1 in 30 in 30 Challenge

Yael's Pot

20 x 22 oil on cardboard

Its started.. Leslie Seata's  30 paintings in 30 days . For the past week I have been giving this much thought going in and out of stress.I have asked myself why put myself through this stress...
 only if I push will I get over the fear barrier
 only by painting will I learn
 only by painting will I experiment and play
 January my birth month
 14 my birth day

 I decided the first week to try to go to the basics.... and what better way then using monochromatic tones.  This first painting  20 x 22 cm done on card board with one coating of gesso.  Worked with oils and palette knife.... one thing I noticed on the gesso was that my strokes weren't going on as smoothly as I wished... so I may put on a tone of diluted paint next painting. Grays  where my own mix...  french -ultramarine + raw umber.

a few of my own rules  "... not EVERY painting has to be a masterpiece!!!!"   "no matter what POST....."  
" don't look at other posts before you post"


I was completely not satisfied with this painting...so today scraped and wiped most of it off... hope to repaint tomorrow morning with the pot in morning light from my window....
