What I'm loving about this 30 Day Challenge is all the playtime in the studio to just experiment. I am trying not to "pour" this week, which is my current method (primarily) of painting, but to go back to the palette knife, and various other tools.
This was a fun exercise-it pretty much represents my January...So much to do- it's all equally important, I seem to be shifting gears daily! It was hard sticking to this week's chosen palette- I really like bold color.
"January's Song" (Bladeworks Series) is painting #11 in the 2017
30 paintings in 30 days challenge I am doing with fellow artist Leslie Saeta
So here is my theme for the challenge this year......This past year I redecorated my dining room, and collected artwork in various styles by my favorite artists from around the world, but all in a similar color palette and the result was lovely.
Actually, it all began with a beautiful painting of a woman in a cafe that I purchased in Cortona, Italy, which became the focal point of the room.
I also collected two still life pieces, an impressionist landscape, a floral piece, and an abstract expressionism piece, all in a similar palette.
That is my inspiration for this challenge. Each week, I will choose a palette and complete 7 paintings of multiple styles within that palette.
I will try to create pieces that would exhibit beautifully together , but can also stand alone.
We shall see what shows up!!
