Get Together- The Youngbloods

Get Together- The Youngbloods. 10x10 Oil on Gessobord. This one came together really fast. I love how it turned out. Really kinda abstract. Also really like this song. It's one that you forget after awhile.....or never knew the name, but really recognizable. Someone has asked me to do a really big seagull painting, so this one is just a test.

Mary Ann- The Merrymen

Mary Ann- The Merrymen.....The challenge this week is paint a parent. Since my parents live in another city I had to resort to photos. This was from a photo taken in 1968 when Mom was 33. She will be 80 next month:) It is a very good likeness, but alas I have not had much experience with portraits, so not perfect. Yes....there is actually a song called Mary Ann. I found two actually, one from Ray Charles and this one from the Merrymen. Love ya Mom!

Play Guitar- John Mellencamp

Play Guitar- John Mellencamp......I have always liked this song. "Forget about all that macho shit and learn how to play guitar" Haha. Good beat too:) This is the third one of the musical category. They all have that sweet vibrant orange going for them. Day 12 of the 30 of 30 done!

Love Me Do-The Beatles

Love Me Do- The Beatles. This is the companion piece for the tambourine yesterday. The song has a wonderful harmonica part......besides who doesn't like the Beatles! I have one more to do of musical instruments in this category then I can move on to another category. Love the subject of these:)

Mr Tambourine Man- The Byrds

Mr Tambourine Man- The Byrds. I have been thinking of doing a series of musical instruments for awhile. My son is very musical; always writing songs and playing his guitar. I can't help thinking of him when I paint these subjects. The ellipses were very challenging. It's not perfect but a good representation! Haha.

TAKIN' IT TO THE STREETS by THE DOOBIE BROTHERS

Takin' it to the Streets- Doobie Brothers. Another one of my categories for the 30 in 30. Streets or corners......This is also the challenge of the week, so two birds:) The cars are so difficult to get believable. But I think I have finally managed something. Let me know what you think!

Hold on Tight- Electric Light Orchestra

Hold on Tight- Electric Light Orchestra....ELO...This is the third painting of hummingbirds......phew...done with that category. I choose 10 subjects for the 30 Paintings in 30 Days. Ten subjects of 3 each. I am behind on my posting for the 30 Paintings but still painting every day possible. How many of us sang along with this song making up words as we went with the French part of it. Haha. Love these little birds.
