painting project day 1
One week to go before the end of summer vacation and I had painted nothing so this morning I decided to get organized. Voila. Paint for 30 was born.
I’ll be painting for 30 minutes a day. I figure that’s doable and can be extended like today, I actually worked for an hour less about 3 minutes or so.
Today’s painting time: 10:30-11:27
I took out a painting I began over a year ago:

crow I had hanging around my studio
and started painting. My inspiration was this view from my studio window:

studio window, looking east
and this is where I left off, after the hour less a few minutes:

crow with background

I like posting here, I see some of what needs changing. Even though it’s only washed on, I can see already that the background is too bright. I like the sketchiness of the bottom right. I’m thinking about change, it’s qualities, as I paint.
See you tomorrow.
