Sunflowers with Basket


Sunflowers with Basket 6x6 oil $100
 
Day 15 of 30 in 30
 
I painted this yesterday, it was the second painting of the day - the first was of pumpkins and was a total wipe-out.  After this cheery one I went on to finish the Reservoir painting.  I will post that later.
 
 I have decided that I like commercially prepared panels. Prepping them myself is too much work and I don't like the results.  I just got an order from Blick that included a Classpack of Project panels. They are 3/8" thick with a gessoed surface similar to Ampersand and a slot on the back to make hanging without a frame easy. A pack of 12 (6x6) was $21.69 not bad.
 
What I like best about the challenge is the camaraderie with other artists.  It is so much fun to read blogs  and to exchange comments with other artists.  I feel as though I have made quite a few on-line friends and for that it has been well worth participating.
 
I find that now that I am back to work it is harder to paint and post every day but that is no surprise.
 
 
This is my sketch for today's painting
