Art Every Day Month

AEDM day 10: Theatinerkirche

by

I’ve been working on this painting of the Theatinerkirche in Munich for a couple weeks now. I can’t decide if it’s done, or if I want to completely re-do the sky and a couple other parts. I guess I’ll wait for a couple days and see what I think then.

AEDM day 9: chugging along

by

I’m proud of myself today. Not that I am particularly impressed with the art I produced (several quick sketches with oil pastels), but that’s OK.

by

AEDM day 2: goldfish

by

I usually paint from an image – life, a photograph, something. So in the interest of using Art Every Day Month to try new things, I sat down with some acrylics and just started painting today. It started to look vaguely like goldfish, so I went with that. Not done yet, but wanted to take … Read more
