Give me Freedom!

So sad when you're so busy trying to set-up your new art business that you don't have time to paint.  Whoa is me!  Oh for the freedom of retirement and no alarm clocks! Someday! In the meantime, here's a painting that has generated a lot of comments. "Mark's View", 18x24 Gallery Wrapped, Acrylic

One down-1 to go!

Finished with one of the signs (Face Cut-Out)I've been working on for the Pumpkin Patch. 1 Down, 1 to go!

Failure!

Well, I completely failed at the 30 Paintings in 30 days! Right after I signed up, I was fortunate to get a commissioned sale for some Carnival Face-Cut outs for a local Pumpkin Patch. So my 30 day promise failed, but Hey! I got a paying gig, right? I will post pictures of the cut-outs when completed. In the meantime, the afternoon turned gorgeous so I had a little time to do some plein air. I like it. Tell me what you think!

30 paintings in 30 days...Oops Missed a Few

Alone in the Woods, 11x14 Framed, Pastel, Available $65

Had the Gallery Walk in Oshkosh last night and I was the featured artist, so painted this outside the studio during the show on my handy dandy travel easel.  Contact me if you'd like to purchase!

30 Paintings in 30 Days-Day 3!

Know for sure, I won't be able to keep up with a painting a day, already!  Life just plain gets in the way and I don't want to paint, just to "Paint."  It should be enjoyable.  Full day yesterday, so whipped this one out late last night.  Not my best effort, but at least I painted!

Part of my 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

I'm working on a Seasonal Set and this is part of that set.  This would be a winter scene.

30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

Participating in the the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge!  Let's hope I can find the time to do a painting a day!  I might have to cheat a little and paint multiple paintings on weekends.  Still a full-time working "grunt".  Leslie Saeta 30 Paintings in 30 Days suggested a theme for our challenge, so I thought I'd try to paint a Barn everyday.  Here is my first contribution.
