Painting-A-Day Year One Completed!!

Acrylic on Archival Gessobord with 3/4" Birch Sides, 12x12", Ready to hang!

Wow! It's been a year! I started this Painting-A-Day Challenge on Feb. 1, 2013 not knowing what it would bring. I would have to say that it has been a very positive experience for me and I plan to continue with it! I began this challenge with the color red (see painting below) and have ended the year with the color red (see painting above.) I don't know...I think I like red! Red is passion and life! Today's painting is a study for a larger painting I am painting for the upcoming exhibit. I was afraid to dive in with my idea, so I tried it on this 12x12" and I like the results and will move ahead on the larger painting. The primary colors used were layers of reds, browns and black. I used highlights of Iridescent Gold as the last layer. It really pops when light shines on it.

Things I have learned in this year of a Painting-A-Day. 1) I can't actually paint a painting a day. I learned this one pretty fast. It was not logistically possible...unless I was willing to give up my life, my family, my friends. 2) This is an excellent way to get me in the studio painting on days when I don't have other commissions going. I work best with deadlines. That 3:00pm deadline makes me move. Sometimes it gets later, but that's okay, too. 3) I've learned many things about traversing the "inter-webs". 4) I've learned more tricks about working in Photoshop to tweak the brightness, color and size of the photos of my work. 4) Sometimes you can't get the painting completely finished in 4-6 hours. 5) I forgive myself for that. 6) I love color. 7) I love painting. 8) I love writing. 9) I enjoy getting feedback from an audience, and 10) I am going to continue doing this Painting-A-Day Challenge. Woohoo! :)

Wow! It's already been a year?!
I so enjoy your posts--both the painting and your written thoughts. Good luck with the commission for the Luther exhibit.
