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.

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.

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.</div>

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.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
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.</div>

Getting started on this painting today. It will be titled 'Chippie', for obvious reasons. I started painting Chippie first because he is the star of the painting. Although the flowers will outshine him in the end; I think Chippie will steal the show. Stay tuned for more updates.<br />
<br />
OK, finally, I found time to paint the rest of the Chippie painting! YEAH!!! here it is below-<br />

I want to paint a bunch of Scabiosa, (pincushion flowers) in an upcoming painting. I thought why not paint a small painting first? Today's test went well and now I can progress to the larger painting. View more of my art on my website: <a href="http://spohnstudio.com/">SpohnStudio.com</a> </div>

Just finished this new pet portrait. Since it is a small size I had to work with small brushes. Seems more stressful to me... but probably because I like my larger brushes better. I think the colors and pose of the dog turned out well. View more of my paintings on my website- <a href="http://spohnstudio.com/">SpohnStudio.com</a><br />

Pet portrait revised- made a few changes. Lighting maybe a bit light on this photo, but you can see some of the changes I made to the dog and some value changes.<br />

OK, below is the final version of this pet portrait.<br />

Most of my gardens are over-flowing with flowers. I cannot pull out a weed flower, which is a self-seeded flower. I seem to always have grand plans for a perfect flower garden and then it becomes over crowded with self-seeded plants. It all seems to work out just fine though... I have plenty of flowers.</div>

I have been working on a new painting that will be entered into 2 shows. The Valley Visions show held locally at the Salida Steamplant and an online show 'Art for Animals' by Navs.org/art. I just finished painting it today. Of course it needs to dry and then I need to varnish it. The background is a bit more subdued in reality. Not certain why the camera was picking up that purple color so intensely.

I have been working on this painting for a while. It was drawn out and ready to paint and then life got in the way... then I started painting it and had to stop and get ready for my art show in Tubac, AZ. Now, finally I have had some time to finish this painting. Hope you like it! I do.

After the painting started to dry, the background seemed to dry to darkly and after reconsidering my color choices I changed the background color. Here is the newly completed painting below.<br />
