This morning I did a quick draw exercise. Gave myself 1 hour or less. I used acrylic and painted a portrait of a pig......I'm working on loosening up. I tend to get tight quickly.
Well this pig is loose and a bit interesting.
Have a painting floating around in my head that I hope to work on later. Will be gone for a while today. I'll use oil for the new one. I mostly paint alla prima.
So what are you working on????????

Re: What are you working on??????????

Love your horse piece, Charles. The title is great, too!

The winds here were ferocious (up to 69mph) and could get a bit worse again today, but I think the worst has past for the Chesapeake Bay area and we are feeling blessed for that! Wondering with all the flooding and power outages how much longer everything will be closed down.

Taking advantage of this unique family time and carving pumpkins with the kids today and listing a couple of paintings.

Re: What are you working on??????????

Thanks, SK Cole! Part of our son's bedroom window was blown off during the worst of it, but we had him sleeping in the basement. Much better off than some of our neighbors who just got power back and have been trying to get the water out of their homes. I'd say prayers are in order for those in NJ and NY right now. It seems the aid isn't getting to all the places its needed! I remember working with evacuees dislocated by Katrina a few years back. It seemed a large percentage of them did not receive the aid they requested even years after the storm.

Ok, well, as for painting, I'm thinking of a winter landscape today and working on preparing some new listings. Have a tornado and storm piece to post soon! TGIF, ya'll!

Re: What are you working on??????????

Great stuff everyone! Congrats on the sale, Donna!

As for me, I'm done the preliminary work on my big commission. Going to start on laying down the paint soon! I'm a bit nervous about it but I think I'm almost ready to do it right!

In the mean time I'll be painting more 5x7's. I'd like to have more than 70's items before December. Hopefully get a sale or two before the Christmas holiday.

Re: What are you working on??????????

I'm practicing some new techniques with watercolor. At the moment, I'm painting waves crashing on a beach and hoping that soon I can come up with something similar that's good enough to list. Not there yet... I'm getting impatient, because I haven't listed anything new in awhile, and business is SLOOOOOOW.

Trying not to get frustrated. Patience, patience...

reading back some
Charles be careful about lowering your prices.....I went through that and I seem to do better if I have a somewhat basic price for the different sizes and time I spend on a painting.
Rachael love your lightening painting
