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.

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.

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.
