Pussywillows

Today was the day to put together a collage of all the 30 day paintings using pic monkey. I discovered I could not do that from my iPad. Still waiting on my hand-me-down computer from my husband. Until then no collage for me. I did want to part a painting. This is a still life I painted from a photo my my sister, Carmela. This vase sits on her dinning room table.

In the Field

Was hoping for a really big finish maybe even something funny like the rear view of cows titled The End. But it didn't happen. I do have this nice little oil of net wrapped hay bales. I am posting from Starbucks as I begin my new life of leisure. Please follow me at dailypaintworks.com or here at my blog. Make comments it will help me, they don't even have to be nice, kind maybe though. 
During these 30 days I have shipped paintings to Ct., Washington, Buhler, Hutchinson, and McPherson. Well the last 3 areas were delivered, or soon to be. Thank you everyone.

The Old Gent

Distant Light 6x6" oil

Working on painting sky's. Still love that far off look across the plains of Kansas. Only one more painting and the 30 day challenge will end. I am learning what brushes and pallet knives work on these smaller gesso boards.
