Day 28- Steampunk Revolution- Abney Park

Day 28- Steampunk Revolution- Abney Park. 6x6 Oil on gessobord. Unframed. Okay...this is really out of my comfort zone...portraiture. But I had to try! I so love the costumes and the "get ups" of Steampunk. How imaginative. What fun! Thanks so much to photographer Alan Cruickshank for posting the photo. It took me so long to do this one yesterday...and then was going to work on it again this morning...which never works...I looked at it and thought...I'm not going to mess with it. 

Here is the music

Day 27- Fly Away- Lenny Kravitz

Day 27- Fly Away- Lenny Kravitz. 6x6 Oil on gessobord. The challenge this week on Daily Paintworks is Escape The Snow. Yessssssssss....thank you Ann Nemcosky for submitting this challenge. Where do you like to escape to? Well everyone that knows me...knows! Da beach man. I love it. I usually have my feet wet the first hour I'm there! When we lived in Guatemala we would go over to Monterrico. It was only a few hours away. Gotta get a beach fix!

Here is the music....

I want to get away....I want to fly away!

Day 26- Lily Love- The Chieftains

Day 26-Lily Love- The Chieftains and The Civil Wars ..6x6 Oil on gessobord. Day 26 of the 30 in 30...Phew almost there! I have missed a few days of the month, but I have produced quite a few more than I would have otherwise:) I love the color of the pond on this one. And lily pads are my favorite! 

This song is not my usual, but I listened to it....never heard of this Irish band before....and loved it. I do have a little Irish in me! 

Here is the tune! Enjoy.

Day 25- Little Wing- Jimi Hendrix

Day 25- Little Wing- Jimi Hendrix. 8x8 Oil on gessobord. My contribution to the 30 in 30. Slacked off this weekend and didn't paint a thing. I just love hummingbirds. They flit around and are so busy.

I must have tried 6 different backgrounds until I finally settled on this. 

This tune is pretty good too!

Day 21- I'm Goin' Down- Bruce Springsteen

Day 21- I'm Goin' Down- Bruce Springsteen. 8x8 Oil on gessobord. This is my second attempt at the challenge on Daily Paintworks this week. Although, I am seriously so sick of the snow and fog and...cold...and...ugh. I am thinking spring can't come soon enough! But these people looked like they were having such fun on a sunny day. Pic is from the morgue file, credit to Michael Ponton.

Day 20- Already Gone- The Eagles
