Junior's Farm- Paul McCartney & Wings

Junior's Farm- Paul McCartney & Wings.....10x10 Oil on Gessobord. This one started easy and finished under protest. Yikes. I hate it when I don't finish all at once. The paint is just so hard to make cohesive the next day. What is that??? This is the second one in the clothesline mini series. I started this trying to closely match the clothesline in the photo, when I realized the photo didn't look to be possible. What? I decided to simplify it. Here is the result. Enjoy the music here

Hanginaround-Counting Crows

Hanginaround-Counting Crows. 8x8 Oil on Gessobord. I am using my gessobord up fast, as I have decided I LOVE painting on this medium. I think I am hooked! This is the first of three in the series of clotheslines. I love clotheslines, and the swaying of clothes drying in the sun and breeze. They smell so sweet when they have been out for the day. Especially sheets! Day 26 of the 30 in 30 paintings, almost there. I haven't painted 30 but has been almost every day:) 
Good tune tooooo!

Get The Party Started- Pink

Get The Party Started- Pink..Ya that's right!!! Get started......and sometimes it just all falls into place. The challenge this week on daily paintworks is, "Paint something in your studio." Well my studio is the cramped extra bedroom in our apartment on the north side of the building. So if it is a dreary day, (which we have lots of) I find it hard to get in there and paint. The light is just so....well non-existent. I need to get some extra lamps......Anywhooo I just went for it today and I think it turned out great!

Seagull-Bad Company

Seagull- Bad Company......6x6 Oil on Gessobord. The third one of my category -seagulls. I love the ocean and the water. Looking and painting this I can almost smell it. Dang......Its cloudy and cold here now and I am missing it! Another one for the 30 paintings in 30 days. 
This is a great song toooooo! Get the music here.
Eventually I will run out of songs, and then I will have to get even more creative!!! Haha...I was wondering if anyone bothered to listen to the music, and my question was answered by a sweet gal who sent me a great email recounting a memory because of my art and the song I picked:) Brings a smile even now!!!!

Free Bird-Lynyrd Skynyrd

Free Bird-Lynyrd Skynyrd. This is the second one of the seagull category. Day 20 of the 30 in 30 paintings. I am really lagging on the 30 paintings. Need to get a serious attitude adjustment:) I enjoy going to the beach or the lake and watching these lovely birds. They are so curious!

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.
