Day 18 Of 30

Only 12 more days left. How does that sound to you, 30 in 30 artists? Doable? Or daunting? I still have plenty of ideas. More palette knife practice, some watercolor. Nope, the ideas haven’t dried up yet. No problem there.

I have however, fallen behind on my blog visits and pinning pieces to my challenge board. I was behind to start. Caught up nicely, and fell behind again. Oh well. I did manage to paint a couple of extra pieces today. Feel good about that. Today’s painting is not showing nearly as pretty as it is in person.

I thought I was done, turns out I wasn’t. Below you can see the first two sessions. A short GIF. The colors in this were difficult to show true. It is not pink, but mauve. And the mauve is evenly distributed from left to right, (you can see below, but it is showing darker than it is) Also, the streaking is not as prominent in person.

First two sessions.

In the second session, I noticed I had some “holes”. Bare spots. I added more white. Something was still off so next I added sand. And finally more of the clay color. Better.

The soft tones are very calming to me. The darks add a nice pop of contrast. I love that the texture of the canvas is showing. It catches the paint off the palette knife in a nice pattern.

This isn’t the painting I intended to post today. At the top of my blog page I tell you that I will even share my failures here. I will share the fiasco I worked on today. I am going to try again tomorrow. Hoping that I will have a good painting to show along with the ugly.

Happy creating to you!

Not sure this is done. I did one like this before, and used pen to show the petals. So I may go back in and add some shapes. Or maybe some bits of blue sky. Contemplating. I love how the colors mingle, it was a lot of fun!

I am trying to get ahead on writing my posts for the week I am gone. Was so excited to have the paintings done, I forgot about the posts. Bye for now.

Wishing you a sunny Sunday!
