Today is the one month anniversary of the beginning of my Blog. I'm posting a second painting today to celebrate. I've posted 18 paintings in 31 days which is fewer than I'd hoped for, but not bad for someone whose normal output has been more like one or two paintings a month. Working smaller has enabled me to complete paintings more quickly, but the real benefit has come from the necessity of simplifying my efforts whether it be shapes, colors, values, composition, or edges. I have been experimenting with different approaches too, focusing on experimentation and discovery. And I've been doing a lot of drawing too which has positively impacted my ability to lay in a composition quickly.
Thanks to those of you following my progress. Your encouragement is a great motivator.
