7x14 Oil on Canvas

Apparently 2013 is not being my year for technology.  I'm having trouble with both my computer and my camera.  I had to change browsers to be able to update my blog which is  why I'm a day late posting this 365/2013 Artists challenge.

I had two 7 x 14 canvases that had been in my studio for quite some time so I decided to give them a try.  The idea I was trying to achieve was a simple landscape with a more colorful sky.  Not sure this photo really gives justice to this painting.

11 x 14 Oil Abstract

One of my painting buddies named this painting for me.  She said she could see the wind blowing in this one. The orange brown could even represent Oklahoma dirt.  I like the flow and texture in this painting.  Thanks for looking!

Purples, blues, orange make for bright and bold colors for an abstract.  I love combining the different colors to see how they will constract or blend with another color.

Since I've taken up the challenge of a painting a day for this year, I decided to also challenge myself to try some subjects I've never tackled before.  People being one of those I've completely avoided.  Before year end, I would like to try a portrait.  The eye has so many color variations, reflections pluse highlights and shadows in the eye area.  Since this is my first attempt, I'm pleased overall with how this turned out.



 

365/2013 Challenge

Many artists accept a challenge for themselves of creating one piece of art every day of the year. There is a group of artists accepting this challenge. I've joined this group. As I've never done art on a disciplined schedule before, this may be a real challenge for me. I can just imagine how much someones art could grow if you're actually creating each day. So please visit me often and see how well I've accepted the challenge!
