Day 20 

30 in 30 hosted by Leslie Saeta.

Well, there's only ten more days left of this challenge. 
The last few days have been busy with the Greenwich Art Fair last weekend, Katie's Cup and a demo at the Du page Art League on Monday and then day one of my Paint Your Pet Class today. Tomorrow it's paint all day! Good thing with all the commissions, getting ready for Fall art scene, more classes and a En Plein Air event this weekend. I'm getting a bit tired but having a good time.

Here's a work in progress.

September 19th, The Melting Planet

Day 19

30 in 30 hosted by Leslie Saeta.

I have a busy day tomorrow starting at 8:30am and ending at 11:30pm so I wanted to post this early. Here is another attempt at abstracts but this time I took advantage of the Golden Molding Paste. This painting actually was vertical but came up horizontal in my blog... I kinda like it this way so I kept it.

Day 17

30 in 30 hosted by Leslie Saeta.

Some days go well, some not so well. 
I've been dabbling with abstracts for awhile now. This one didn't work out but I learned something; you can mix the gold ink with any color to get a new glitter like color which is really quite neat.  I just couldn't let go of this painting. I had to keep on trying new things until it got kinda messy. 

What now? Well, I'm going back in with some white next. Why not? What do I have to loose?

Yikes!

This will be the 5th painting in my 
Rockford Drive By series.
This is the old YMCA along State Street. And it happens to be my favorite building in Rockford.

 Work in Progress

East Side Center 1889

Rockford, Illinois

This building is the landmark YMCA built in 1889, now called the East Side Center. Built by subscription, the building was Rockford's first YMCA but was sold in 1906 and was the East Side Inn until it closed in 1968. The Richardsonian Romanesque style building was renovated and now serves as an office building.
