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:

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.

    Ok. Today my plan is to white wash that background again. The crow obviously needs to be the focal point. The ground is important too. Differently, though.

    That's my plan. We will see what actually happens.

    graffiti, impermanence, growth, learning, change.
