Day 7, A rainy night in the Mission, San Francisco. 90 minutes is not proving long enough. Oil on board, 11 x 14". I could definitely use some help from Hopper here. May have to go back to this one.
Day 4. The Lollipop Walkway
Day 4 - The Lollipop Walkway. Photo and memory of a beautiful garden in Hudson, New York. painting from dark to light. Oil on canvas, 10 x 8 "
Day 3, Plums
Day 3 and I just managed to finish this in my self imposed time limit. I think I might have had another 2 minutes but it was close. Plums in a bowl, oil on canvas, 6 x 6" .
Day 2
Day 2 of my mini challenge and I did a little better today, completing a small, well very small, oil of a tin of Harissa paste. ( A wonderful red pepper paste all the way from Tunisia - via San Francisco.). It was a glorious bright yellow with a blue blue lighthouse motif so naturally I had to buy it. Oil on canvas, 5 x 5"
Day 1. Orchard.
Summer camp finished last week so now I have a week off to finish lots of small but needful projects. With just a week at my disposal I decided to try to do a painting a day, limiting myself to a maximum of 90 minutes on any one picture. Mmm we shall see how long this lasts, especially as day 1 is a sort of cheat since I am reworking a similar painting I did earlier this year that was not working for me. but at least I stuck to the time limit. The goal is to get more comfortable working with oils. Orchard, oils, 8 x 10"
Turquoise Trail
On the road to Madrid, New Mexico, looking down to the start of the "turquoise trail". First stop, Cerillos, home to many old turquoise mines. Oil on canvas, 12 x 12"
View Through
Looking into a courtyard, late morning light. Oil, 12 x 12"
Favorite View
Back from Santa Fe, wonderful but much, much too short. A view of the Pedernal, oils, 12 x 12". But must admit this was painted the week before I left. Just back and still editing hundreds of photos .....
