Day 3

6x6 oil on panel Click here to buy $50
I feel like I am in a bit of a rut, my style and subject matter are all over the place, but it's ok for now since I've been "off" of painting for awhile I figure it will take some time to get back to my old fighting form.  For now I'm just trying to get better habits, like wiping the brush or knife after every stroke instead of creating mud on the board.   How is everyone else on the 30 day challenge feeling?

  1. I like the composition. That has been what I have been struggling with--how to set up simple subjects in an interesting way.

  2. I like the loose-ness and painterly style of the piece. I tend to paint too long and get mud, as you describe.

  3. Really good painting, well done! I have some peppers set out for Day 4's painting. I am finding the challenge hard, I am seeing it as a kind of race and it's not helping! I am going to try and in the morning tomorrow and see if I can calm down! Good luck!

  4. It looks like you never stopped painting! I love the background--like the peppers are swimming expressively, yet anchored. WEll done!!!!! Great shapes and shadows.
