Today's painting, B = Bighorn

Today's painting is of a desert bighorn sheep.  I painted it last week but chose the wrong background color. Today, I changed the color and now it pops!  The bit of permanent rose seemed to make all the difference in the world.  It's amazing how color works.

Today's painting, C = Squirrel (oops)

OK folks, I'm trying to get back into the swing of things for my 75 for 75 painting-a-day.  I'm painting my way through the alphabet - and I'm up to the letter 'C'.  So today, I painted this little guy, C = Chipmunk.  Halfway through the painting, I realized this little critter is NOT a chipmunk, but a Golden-Mantled Squirrel.  So today's piece is C = Squirrel!

Shane's painting for today, 'Oblivious Brunch Bunch'

This is one of Shane's best pieces so far....in my opinion!  Love the way he painted the cows....and love his brush strokes.  Nice painting, Shane!

I've cut and pasted the followed from Shane's blog, turpitout.blogspot.com because he admits I (his mother) was right about flats!

I'm getting some wicked glare in this photo off the wet, thicker paint in the sky, but I'll upload a higher-quality scan once it's dry.  Despite my earlier dislike of flat brushes (I've been using brights), I decided to give them another try and did this painting with #6 and #4 Bristlon Silver flats.  I take back the mean things I said as it was a different, but enjoyable experience.

Shane's new piece for today - "Understudy"

This is Shane's painting for today - 'Understudy'.  I love the painting - especially the feeling that the woods continue beyond the aspen.  It's a 7" x 5" on Ampersand board.  Scroll down to the next post to see my painting for the day.

C=Chair * Today's Painting

I know - I missed posting one yesterday.  Today is the first day of Camp Sweetie-Pie - an annual camp that I do for my grandkids.  This year it's five days long!   In my book, grandkids take priority....so posting this week will be sporadic.

I saw this funky old chair in a small town in Colorado.  It was screaming, PAINT ME.  So I did.

B=Butterfly & Buddliea - Today's Painting

B = butterfly - I think it's a Painted Lady but correct me if I'm wrong.  I have a buddliea  (butterfly bush) outside my studio window, so I've got great reference material.    This 7" x 5" study is done on Ampersand gesso board and is #4 in this month's 75 project.  I like this little oil - it has given me an idea for a larger gallery painting.

B=Baby * Today's painting

I've been invited to participate in a group figurative show at the Santa Ysabel Gallery in Santa Ysabel, California (San Diego County) in October....so I painted  today's 5" x 7" study, "B=Baby", to help me practice painting figurative work.

I've got three grandchildren, including an 18 month old girl, so I couldn't help but think of her as I was painting this.
