The Zorn Challenge on Daily Paintworks

Well at first I was very skeptical that I could pull this off. But the more I got into it the more amazed I was at the amount of colors I could actually make using only the 4 colors. I think it turned out pretty good. As much as I wanted to go for the green......I didn't, and I am glad I refrained!

On my easel today

Here is another cloud painting. Montana sunrise.....The Big Sky.... and it is! Two paintings in two days....I gotta keep this up!

The weekly challenge is clouds.......Since I like beaches I looked through my photos and settled on this one we took when we were in Punta Cana last year. Yes....the sand is white!!!

10 Minute Challenge

This is my entry for the 10 minute challenge on Daily Paintworks. The challenge is to pick one item and then use a timer to paint that object in ten minutes---- 4 times. This was difficult as I usually mess with it too long. I don't have a proper still life set up with one source of light so the light kept moving from the window. Yikes.

Interesting exercise. My problem is I can't decide when to stop!!!!How much is too much? The colors start to blend together in a gray mess if I go too far. My technique is to have two or three colors on my brush. What do you think? And I think wet on wet works best for me.

Here is the my submission for the Daily Paintworks Challenge. The challenge was to take a simple object and three pieces of colored paper and make 4 different compositions. I chose to use an acorn. I found this acorn in Guatemala at Iximche. Iximche means "place of trees" in the Kaqchikel language: this city was the last capital of the Maya-kaqchikels, and in 1524 it became the first capital of the Spanish conquistadors in Guatemala.
