February 30 in 30, Day #7

30 paintings in 30days.

I had a hard time with this one. I will admit it. It started out as a piece about recommitting to goals and not letting little stumbles get in the way of the directions you want to move in. I wrote myself a lovely little pep talk in silver across both pages knowing that enough of it would be covered up and that my private pep talk would stay just that. But then I lost the direction when I stenciled with molding paste. I like them very much but they are way too centered and there's four of them, an even number, I know better than that. Anyway, I was never able to get back to any kind of a focal point after that. I decided to stop trying so hard and doodle my way through the rest of it. So I let everything dry and plopped down in front of the TV and casually doodled. It still doesn't have a point of interest, but I'm okay with it.

Day 29, Oils, Blended

30 in 30 hosted by Leslie Saeta.

Today I got the oils out again and enjoyed myself. This is a small abstract on an art board with some of that wonderful molding paste added for texture.

For day 29 I wanted to get back to some of this month's paintings that I wanted to change when the paint dried.

Daylilies, Day 21;
I felt like the background of the fence was fighting with the flower too much.










Counterbalance, Day 23;
I wanted to add a lime green color to the painting and well, once I got started I couldn't stop.
