Month: February 2017

Two months down, 10 to go!  It’s been another GREAT month of fun challenges as I continue to post a painting every day related to that particular day of celebration!

I had some cool fabric textures to paint again this month, including a fuzzy sweater, denim, and my first full shirt painting!  There were also a lot of fun food related themes, giving me opportunities to paint some unique textures…the foil wrapper and powdery finish of a stick of gum…greasy, melted cheese on a pizza, and the subtle contrasting tones of an Oreo cookie.

Here are a few of my favorites from February…

Bubble Gum Day

Sweater Day

Chocolate Fondue Day

Pizza Day

White Shirt Day

Cream Filled Chocolates Day

Laugh and Get Rich Day

Levi Strauss Day

Open That Bottle Night

Handcuff Day

Tug-o-War Day

Battery Day

What will March bring? Your guess is as good as mine!

Happy Floral Design Day!  I was planning on going way all out on this theme while hosting my paint jam, but I ended up being so busy, this was all I got painted for the day! I wanted to practice some one stroke kalla lilies.  These turned out way better on my PainterTemplate than on myself, but oh well…I do like how simple and quick these are!

Happy Strawberry Day!!  While I did already paint a strawberry for chocolate fondue day, I thought it would be fun to just try a strawberry itself this time, and used a different method to achieve the lighting and shadows on this one.  This is one of those paintings that I thought didn’t look great when I finished, until I later looked at the photos.  One thing I always like to do in my workshops is encourage my students to always take photos of their work!  They may hate it now, and then later look back and realize it was pretty good!

If you’ve been looking for an excuse to open that bottle, you’re in luck!  Why hold out for any other day, when today is literally the day!!  Dust off that corkscrew, pop the cork and pour yourself a glass in celebration of February 25th! 🙂

Here’s a little corkscrew finger painting for you!  Reminds me of the Swiss Army Knife painting I did a while back!
