This was painted as part of the 365 challenge even though I haven't been posting them lately.  I let life get in the way of art!  I love the calm peaceful feel and colors of this painting.  The colors were chosen by request of an upcoming commission.  Still working on painting ideas but since they wanted something calm and soothing, this might be a good study for that piece.  Thanks for looking.

Day 16 of the 365 art challenge!  For some reason, I've been thinking of doors lately.  With the blues and browns which are one of my favorite color combinations, I find this a very restful painting.  Thanks for looking.

Today was a day full of errands which didn't leave much time for art.  So while I painted this pretty quickly, I'm still pleased with the overall look.  Some artists can limit themselves to 20 or 30 minutes to a painting. That's definitely not me!  However, during this 365 day challenge, I am trying to complete  some of the smaller ones in that time frame.  I think it will help me to loosen up and not worry the details so much.  Although I also think I'll be painting plenty of my larger paintings that sometimes take days.  I hope you enjoy traveling this journey with me.
