This new year is a little slow going…as I am under the weather…sick. But I did manage to finish up a painting I started last year (which was just a few days ago). I am officially starting my “30 in 30″…following along with Leslie Saeta and other artists around the world, whose goal is to do 30 paintings in 30 days. I have done this before, and it was a great way to motivate myself to just get in there and work. I am always happy when I give that extra push. 

Now, I can’t usually paint every single day, but I have days when I can start multiple paintings. I actually love to work that way.

Here is the first painting of the year…

Portrait of Valentina – 8 x 10 inch acrylic on Ampersand gessobord She is now available on Daily Paintworks, in a 6 day auction.
