I was referred to an interesting website the other day and I have been starting to follow it. These people do a painting a day and some of them are very accomplished. They also do verbal blogging along with showing their daily work. It is a great way to improve but also to talk about the process and the work.
Anyway, I'm not sure I'll ever be doing a painting a day because I am just too slow, but I thought I would try to start by just blogging and talking about my work. It is at least therapeutic even if no one ever reads any of it.
I've finished a figurative painting that I need to photograph and get into my gallery, and I've started another one. There is a chance that I'll be going to the Medicino area to do marine painting so I'm drawing upon a bunch of photos to do a composite painting of the Fort Bragg, CA harbor. Tomorrow I'll post come photos of both painting and follow the progress of the latter.
Anyway, this is the beginning. I know myself well enough to realize this will be a spotty process but here goes anyway. I hope this works because I've never tried the blog feature and I know it is a beta version.
