Why am I doing the Daily paintings.

Why am I doing the Daily paintings ? Well ,when I started I wanted to do them;
......to see if I could ( I can )
......to create a new body of work ( I have )
.......to , ' move on my landscape painting, ' ( I have )
.......to increase my online presence ( I have )
.......to ultimately increase my income from my paintings ( working on this one )
Although I have had a couple of wobbles, I have loved the paint, the project, the commitment and most of the paintings,

Olive wall reworked with old ones

Just rejigged this wall with some older paintings. It looked much better. I am trying to paint the Daily paintings with this olive colour in mind and it is just not working. Try again.

Making a baton from an old wooden Venetian blind

Hope you can read this. I love using discarded stuff in new ways. I can see these batons all over the house. Ha ha

The olive wall

Well, these were the first four ( on the left ) for the olive wall.the wall needs another coat of paint but, as always, I can't wait to try it. Anyway the paintings seem cluttered and don't fit together. Interesting. It may be that I need a bigger pool of paintings to select from. Will try that this week. I don't mind the olive wall now though.

The fourth for the olive wall

Fourth for the olive wall. I was trying to create something neutral and spacey. Fail on both counts but I don't mind it - today !

Third for the olive wall

The third for the olive wall. I found it frustrating that it didn't come as easy as the more neutral wall. I was painting the olive wall at the same time and didn't like they either.

The second for the olive wall

I am guessing that these will look good on an olive wall. I need to get the wall painted before I paint anymore.this one has more texture - lots of printing on and printing off so at the same time made lots of smaller pieces. Georgeous !
