Day 7 of the painting challenge. This is a whimsical painting that I painted into the evening. I have always enjoyed aquariums and have normally had one or half a dozen in my home. Currently, I am down to just one 80 gallon tank. Love to watch the fish. I find it meditative. This card will be available on my website tomorrow. SpohnStudio.com

Greeting Card: "Whiskers"

Greeting Card- 5 x 7
'Whiskers'

Day 5 of the painting contest. Painting everyday with the goal of finishing a painting. I meant to paint a much larger painting today.. but things (life) came up and I only had time for a smaller painting. This hare painting still has lots of personality. It will be posted for sale tomorrow on my website. SpohnStudio.com

Greeting Card- Charlie

"Charlie"
5x7 greeting card
Acrylic

Day 4 of the painting challenge and I did a semi-portrait of our feral cat Charlie. I didn't crop his left ear, so he looks more handsome in this painting. I find painting in acrylics is so much faster than painting in oils.

Day 1 of the 30 in 30 days. That means painting one painting each day for 30 days. I was going to structure myself to a certain theme or size... but have decided against it. This leaves me free to explore many subjects and sizes of paintings.

So stay tuned to see what happens on this journey of 30 paintings in 30 days. These paintings will be posted on my website one day later. You can purchase directly from my website.
