#298 Reflecting Color
Click to buy! (8x8 inch oil)
Painted for this week's DPW Challenge to paint reflected color. I was really excited about painting this one. Unfortunately, I rushed it. I enjoy painting wet into wet and knew that I wouldn't have much time (if any) to work on it over the next couple of days. I will probably try something similar, again, and give myself more time. I really enjoyed painting the opal apples.

#265 Three Apples and a Bowl
Click to buy! (6x6 inch oil)
Sometimes I really struggle to find a composition I like, but this one happened in a couple of minutes. I love it when that happens :)

I painted these apples a couple of weeks ago. lately I've been blocking in the whole painting and then adding the details. It's been working pretty well.

#254 Shine On Us
Click to buy! (12x12 inch oil)
I've been doing some quick 15-20 minute sketches before I start a painting. Sometimes I use it to solve potential problems and sometimes it just helps me warm up beforehand. I did one for this painting because the vase is new and I didn't feel confident since it is white. I actually liked the sketch more than the final painting! The photo of this painting is a little washed out on the right side, again.

#228 Get Loose
Click to buy! (6x6 in.)
Painted for the Daily Paintworks Challenge. It was really fun experimenting. I definitely see a different between the first apple and the last, but it was hard to make it get a little bit looser each time. I definitely want to try this again!

We read "Orphan Train" for this month's book club. It is historical fiction and I really enjoyed it. I experimented with a pattern in the background of this one.

#225 The Blue One
Click to buy! (5x7 inches)
I painted this last week and I'm just now posting it here. I purchased the mug at the dollar store when I was buying supplies for my daughter's birthday party. I'm always drawn to things that are blue and green. I struggled with the mug but in the end it turned out ok.

#224 Pinky and Wild
Click to buy! (6x6 inches)
I tried to kind of go back to the basics last night. I think part of why I've been struggling this last week is because I'm trying to be further along in my painting journey than I really am. I watched some Carol Marine Artbytes last night and I was reminded of why daily painting is so good for growth as an artist. For now, I need to stick with painting daily (or close to that) and not worry so much about producing a masterpiece. That last part is hard for me. I need to give myself time to grow and not be so hard on myself! I painted a pink lady apple from Sprouts and a little green apple my husband picked off a tree this week.

#198 April Book Club
Click to buy! (6x6 in.)
I'll admit I really like this one. When I set the still life up in my box I wasn't too sure how it would go. I like the color of the apple, I like the gold in the background and I like the pink of the eraser. Maybe the book is a little crooked? I haven't loved my last few paintings so it was nice to do one that I'm more pleased with.
For April we read "The Ocean at the End of the Lane" by Neil Gaiman. Very interesting! We will talk about it this Sunday and looking forward to it.
