Plum Island

24"x48"

This is the finished piece of my 30 paintings in 30 days project.  By working on one section at a time, I feel like I gave every part of this painting proper attention and the result is a rich mosaic of brushwork and color.  It was fun doing a painting so much larger than the small pieces I have been doing for the last couple of years.  It made me want to do more!

I get so excited when I discover a new contemporary artist that I love.  Today I discovered

Nouha Hachchane on Daily Paintworks.  I don't know anything about this artist other than that she/he does wonderful portraits of children on stretched goatskin.  Here is an example:

One thing I don't so much like about this slow reveal is the numbering of them.  It feels like a countdown, which it is, but it is like counting away the days, and I think time moves fast enough.  I will look forward to naming paintings again!

Day 20 is a beautiful, sunny day in VT.  Hope you are having a glorious day too.

Day 19!  It was a beautiful day for kayaking and my wetsuit is going to take me well into the cold weather!

This is the mast of the boat that will be the focal point.

The watertower is poking up above the far tree line. 

#15 AND #16 OUT OF 32

Today is day 16 of 30 and I am finally caught up (I started 10 days late).  You can see how these pieces fit together.

I discovered a new favorite artist.  Her name is Christine Nadeau and she is from Quebec.  Here is an example of her outstanding artwork.

Every day is a new experience (duh) but I  really notice it in this painting.  I am observing my approach more closely and how it changes from day to day.

I am feeling like I am getting a better understanding of how I want this painting to look in the end.  I have gone back and edited a few things, mostly how my buildings look.  This is a very interesting process.

#7 and #8 out of 32

2 more pieces of the puzzle....I can only post 2 at a time on Leslie Saeta's sight, so even though I have caught up, I am dragging out posting them.  The whole piece will be revealed on Sept. 30.  I hope that is exciting for you; it definitely is for me!  I am hoping every inch of this 24"x48" piece is full of energy and joy!
