Studio Day

I spent the day painting in my studio on a rare pre-holiday, uninterrupted day.

This is one of two paintings I worked on today and neither of them is completely finished.

The lighthouse on Bald Head Island is a commission and just needs a little more work. I painted this scene a couple of months ago in a 5 x 7 format. This larger one was even more fun.

I took a workshop this past week-end in Cary at Waverly Artists Group and had a wonderful time painting and getting to know some wonderful artists from around the state. Our instructor was Maggie Siner who presented us with challenging painting exercises. Maggie is an excellent teacher and a fantastic artist.

The sun just came out after a couple of days of rain so I am heading out for a walk.

Double Challenge

I like to do the challenges each week on the Daily Paintworks website but I have gotten so far behind.  I decided to do the "Phone Photo" challenge from DPW for the 30 in 30 challenge that is now in its fourth day.  Thanks to Elaine Stolt for the challenge and the photo she provided.  This is the first marsh painting I have done and I think I'd like to try some more of these.  Anything with water appeals to me as a painting subject.

Thanks for all your comments and encouragement with the thirty paintings in thirty days challenge, so far I am having a blast!
