I wasn't happy with the way the mug came out on yesterday's painting so I decided to paint it again today. Eh, it's getting there.

It's been a while that me and my paintbox hung out. (Ignore the shadow on the top of the painting I took this picture at night and I only had the shitty light on the fan to use.) I am still trying to push through this lack of drive to paint. Well see what happens.

Number 68

Lately I have had zero motivation to get any work done. I spent a good chunk of today drawing trying to get shit going again. This is gonna be a fight to push through this. Today's piece isn't a painting but its an image no the less. I was done in Flash.

Number 67

More watercolor.

Saturday I went down to the river to paint. It was one of those days where painting reminds you that you don't know shit and have a lot to learn. This was a very hard painting. I ended up stopping cause I was starting to get dizzy. It was way too humid. I will be going back.

And here is a bowl that sits in the corner. Wish me luck tomorrow a painting group from Austin will be in town and I'm getting up the nerve to go out and paint with them. I'll post the results tomorrow.

I can't tell if I am taking steps backwards or forwards. I did notice that for whatever reason I'm blending out the brush strokes. Go figure.

The schedule should be returning to normal this week last week was weird. Here and there I'll be doing some make up paintings to catch up with the number I should be on. I've said it before and I'll say it again, I love being a turtle, and painting a glass with water in it is tough.


6x6 Oil on Canvas

Number 52

Ok so it's lighter. I think the blue messes everything up. It's starting to look like glass. It'll be better tomorrow.


6x6 Oil on Canvas

Number 51

This one turned out a little on the dark side. Heh, the ability to paint water in a clear glass is insignificant next to the power of the force. I'll be painting clear glasses all week. Well the next four paintings since I'm off a little this week.


6x6 Oil on Canvas

Slight Delay

I am waiting on some panels to come in, hopefully I'll be painting tomorrow.

And here is number 50!

Apples.


6x6 Oil on Canvas

More apples. I figure I still have them so paint them before they get eaten.

Mug.

Today's apple. I'm not a big fan of the background.

Today was a difficult painting day. It was hard to keep it looking yellow green in parts. On a good note I totally lost track of time which means my brain shifted to the right hemisphere and was completely focused on the task at hand. I also noticed my cad yellow is a little weak sauce when it comes to mixing it with other colors. Happy Mid-Week!


6x6 Oil on Canvas

The answer to everything

Here is today's apple.


6x6 Oil on Canvas

Number 41

Woot! Nine more till fifty. I just bought some apples so expect apple paintings for a while, most likely for the rest of the week.


6x6x Oil on Canvas

Number 40

Without further adieu number forty. Crazy how many paintings that is.


6x6 Oil on Canvas

Number 39

SKULL! I used pthalo blue for the background and it got way out of hand. I need to remember that a little of that color goes a real long way. I sure your saying, "wait, it Friday and it should paining number 40." Well I declared Tuesday as a river day and I didn't paint that day. Number forty will be tomorrow.

6x6 Oil on Canvas

Number 33

Here is today's painting. I'm digging the orange and blue.


6x6 Oil on Canvas

Number 32

Today I decided to paint a grapefruit. I enjoyed painting this and I believe I will paint more grapefruit tomorrow. I used a bigger brush in an attempt to keep the painting looser. I got some new panels for my birthday and will let you know what I think about them after I've painted a few more things.

Here is today's painting another mug.


6x6 Oil on Canvas

Number 30

Wow thirty paintings. I believe I just doubled the amount of painting that I have done in my entire art "career". I've been drawing since I was little but I didn't get really serious about art until about five years ago, up until then I was coasting. My stuff was as good or better than the people around me so why push myself to get better (big fish in a little pond). While sitting at a horrible job at a dollar store I realized that I drew worth shit and needed to practice if I was going to get any better. It had been a long time that I just drew for fun. I think what helped too was reading a book called "Art & Fear". It basically said that the only person that is gonna care about your work is you so work for the enjoyment of making work (or something like that). So now it's work for work's sake. OK I'm rambling. Have a great weekend.

Today's painting was a struggle, it was a thick mess towards the end and I had to scrape it down and redo it. I'm still not a hundred percent on the background.

More mugs. Feeling a little bit better today.


6x6 Oil on Panel

Number 27

Not feeling too great today so here is one quick and dirty.

It was interesting today painting a portrait of the wife. I started late in the evening and I was neat watch the light from the window fade and the light from the laptop she was on become the predominant light source. Next time I do this I will start way earlier. I do think this painting looks more like her.
