"Birthday Boy" 8x10 acrylic on canvas
I am feeling a little bit like the spent snail from the other day. I managed to create this painting before leaving for a birthday party today, but now I am ready for my 3 year nap! (Hee Hee)
Thank goodness for Tam's free online course Art, Heart, and Healing... The start of this painting was looking quite creepy (I'll let you see the sketch tomorrow), but since I was watching Tam's video about whimsies while painting I was inspired to create a more lighthearted, childlike character. (She is very inspiring. I definitely recommend checking out her site!)
Are you curious how others fared on Day 6? Stop by the Creative Every Day blog to find out!
Yeah for you on Day 6! I am a great big fan of Tam. I have taken two classes with her prior to this free class. She is wonderful to watch because you not only get the creative push, but you get some self help right along with it.
ReplyDeleteI really love the background on this painting. The colors really pop.
Love the innocence in this painting... well done!
ReplyDeleteYou are doing so great! I am having trouble keeping us with my create every day.
ReplyDeletehard to imagine this looking creepy at all - its so cute!

Wow! I am amazed that you have gotten all these finished paintings done each day! Are you a full-time artist? I cannot seem to get enough time to finish anything, but I am a social worker by day, grad art therapy student weekends and evenings and an artist when I can be. So either I am very slow, you are very fast, or maybe you are able to allow more time...either way these are really cool. I love your style!
ReplyDeletei love the bolds and brights of these last two pieces.. i love, love, love them! and i'm amazed you're able to get these accomplished in one day each!
ReplyDeleteGlad to see you are having fun with this. I would not be able to commit to doing a painting a day as I would never be able to keep up.
ReplyDeletefirst i must tell you that you and I graduated from the same college - I went to SUNY AT BUFFALO from 78-82...best years of my life...I went into health and human services...anyway - I absolutely love your painting...very whimsical to me - love it!!!thanks for sharing!! AEDM
ReplyDeleteLove those colors!
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing the link for Art Heart and Healing.
This is cute, Kristin! I missed day #5, but just saw it, and ABSOLUTELY love it. what a cute print that would make!!! hugs to you!
ReplyDeleteI love how boldly you use colour in your work. Is that a Picasso dog?! Sweet! Thanks for sharing your sketches too, I love to see the process of art (in other people's art since I see mine all the time). The sketch stage is often when I get discouraged, get hard on myself over my drawing skills. Do you direct transfer your sketches on your canvas/board or do you redraw them?
