Day 6 30 in 30 Challenge


Day 6  Leslie's 30 in 30 Challenge


20 x 25 
oil on gessoed cardboard

Wow, one day and its a week... I am really loving this process and I hope it spills over after the challenge.  its such a good habit to do something creative everyday.  Since I don't have a studio I have to share painting in my small computer room... and when I say small I mean small... so I have to really keep things organized... I put a paper tablecloth on the table... move the keyboard and mouse...luckily wireless... to make room for palette and all the paints etc... finished roll up the tablecloth over the cleaned palette with other stuff I was using and the desk is now for computer use... since I use palette knives mostly clean up is easy... tomorrow roll out the cloth and begin ... 

Oil on a gessoed panel painted with a palette knife.  2 dark bottles.  tried to use the "Island Ocean''system I learned from Carol Marine... need more practice...but I think its a good idea especially on small pieces.  Had to rotate the format to use the knife in various spots .... Feel this is better than yesterday's flop.... I added yellow ochre to my palette.

One more day and it will be a week... and I am still here... hiding in plain site  !!!!

I know what you mean about a small space! I can relate. I really like the colors in both today as well as yesterday's bottles. Yellow ochre is one of my favorites. And btw, I really like the bottle from yesterday. It has wonderful colors, designs, textures, lines, etc. It has a nice feel to it. You could very easily turn it into a very cool looking snowman because of all the subtle-ness about it! (I know that's not a word...but it fits for what I'm trying to say :)

I love the addition of the ochre--these are so rich looking. Wonderful! And maybe we can keep each other motivated after this challenge is over... I just scrolled back up and looked again and can I just say one more time I really, really like this painting!
