"Studio" 4x6" acrylic on paper $40 + shipping 

Oh i am happy with this one! i was short on time tonight so i had to paint faster and i love the end results of this one. Sometimes i can paint fast and sometimes i am slow. And yes my studio is this cramped, dark, and unorganized. This is actually the cleaner corner! It is my little art hole.

Day Seventy-eight 2

"Laundry on the line" 4x6"acrylic on paper (sold)

Hmmm... this was fun! 

Squeel!

Oh my gosh, so normally i have to think of a bunch of ideas of what to paint and list them so i can not claim i have no ideas, well that still leaves me not wanting to paint any of those ideas, and i search the house frustrated for something to paint.

I have been oogling www.dailypaintworks.com for a little while and will soon join whenever i can afford the $13 a month fee. (yes, times they are difficult) and came across the weekly challenge... that has a whole long list of amazing fun challenges of topics to paint! woot, a list of inspiration and images of others ideas! what more can you ask for?!  and then when i can join people can look and buy my art through the website. 

Many paintings are forsale, just trying to figure out the best way of going about it. If you are interested shoot me an email on what painting is is and we can work things out! 

kendalle.weinberg@gmail.com (i don't check 1000 times a day and please put painting or art or something in the title line.) 

Also, i would really appreciate a share on facebook/other websites to further get out there. 

and please if you have any recommendations or comments or questions feel free to comment, add me on facebook, send me an email... I get ridiculously excited when someone comments! 

Also, i have set up an artist page on facebook so if you want to check it.. although it is pretty much the same art that is on my blog.... rambling when i should be painting... see ya later!

day seventy-six

"clouds at sunset on the beach" 4x6" acrylic on paper $40 + shipping 

well I attempted a sky painting, I need to practice clouds as i painted these... i don't know 5 or so times. Not happy with them fully. I made them too uniform in shape. Next time i will know to remember they are not uniform and make sure i do not repeat the same mistake. Yet another bonus to a painting a day.

"Essa" 4x6" Acrylic on paper $40 + Shipping

"Corn" 4x6" Acrylic on Paper (Sold)

This was quite interesting, the kernels were a bit daunting but the silk was what worried me the most. 

Day Sixty-one

"Watermelon" 4x6" Acrylic on Paper (Sold)

This started out as one slice of watermelon, then one plus 2 rinds, then 2 slices, 2 rinds. Now thats its done with the 2 slices, 2 rinds, one whole I really like it. Fun painting. I was hoping it would be all happy and fun to look at, not sure thats how it ended but I like it. I didn't have a watermelon to look at so hopefully i got the lighting correct. I couldn't make up my mind for most of this painting to where the light was coming from. 

Reflections.

I have been doing a painting a day since Aug 10, so it has been almost two months now. I have roughly 60 paintings now.

It is amazing how different i feel today from doing them. Since i have started doing a painting a day i feel my painting has improved. It takes painting every day to really learn how to paint i feel. When i was painting every once and a while i forgot things i need to work on in my next painting.

I feel much more confident in my work, I took some paintings into a local gallery on the off chance they may like them. And they did! I now have 7 paintings in a gallery for sale on Main Street, Cedar Falls, Iowa. cgrahamfoto.com They have a lot of really awesome art that my work gets to keep company.

I got an awesome project of 28 Foodie paintings to do before thanksgiving and have around 22 done. Some may not make the cut, but they are coming.

I started this blog and feel even more like a real artist now that i have my work up and cleaned up.

On Aug 9, i loved art but didn't feel like a working artist. Now i feel like a real artist and its great! Painting is my meditation that keeps me happy. I don't think i have felt bored once since starting this project so i don't see an end in sight.

Day Sixty

"Grape Cluster" 4x6" Acrylic on Paper (Sold)

This weekend has been busy, and i had started this one a few days ago and it was a lot of fun. I was able to finish up on this tonight. My hands are really shaky today. I need sleep. The other day this was very fun, today i was just trying not to get random colors all over the place. Signing it was hard as my hand wouldn't cooperate. I think it turned out pretty well though. 

No Painting. Meh.

Sorry no painting today. Today i was feeling a bit meh. So i didn't plan to paint anything, about an hour before bed time though i started a painting.... but i didn't finish it so it should be up this weekend. Hopefully. Every once and awhile i just don't have it in me to paint.

So not to disappoint i will put up a picture of messi. He makes every day better.

Day Forty-Nine

"Luna and Napoleon" 4x6" Acrylic on Paper

These are my friend's cats. The black one you may have noticed only has one ear. When he was a kitten he was thrown out of a moving car down the high way. A nice man thought he was trash but pulled over, and picked him up, and brought him into the shelter unsure of the outcome. It was raining that night and he was very thin, covered in fleas, and his ear was ripped half way off. He had to have surgery to remove his ear as his ear canal was torn as well. He now lives with my friend Lacey and just celebrated his one year birthday. Luna the black and white cat was also a kitten brought into the shelter. This is why you need to spay and neuter your pets, you never know where kittens and puppies will end up. These are very lucky cats, and they spend their time looking out the sliding glass doors watching the world go by.  

Day Forty-eight.

"Wasp" 4x6" Acrylic on Paper $40 + shipping

I hate wasps! They scare me, i even taught Messi to run when he sees bees and wasps. I like to say it is a justified fear, they can hurt you. Mice, snakes, bats are all fine with me... my weakness is wasps. So I painted a dead one. I win.
