Savannah Morning 111 sold

This was a piece from my painting class this morning. Today we worked from our own photos in the dreaded palette of doom, which I must say, I am growing somewhat fond of.... somewhat. I had to do it twice in class and the second time was the charm. I would like to do this piece larger at some point, but I say that about all of them!

Compliments, Savannah 100

It just now dawned on me as I typed the title of this post that this is my 100th daily painting, seems like a miles stone, or at least it should be. As I look back from this painting to the very first daily painting, there has been significant growth... thank goodness.

The last time I was in Savannah, I was there for a conference on creativity. Needless to say, even though I was enthralled by the workshops, every chance I got, I escaped to the streets of Savannah (one of my favorite cities on the face on the planet) to take pictures of some of my favorite haunts. I wandered the streets of in uncannily 70 degree February weather rattling off photos in the great sunlight. This particular painting was inspired by a pictures of a house on Jones Street that was being restored, I loved the orange and the blue of the doors and even more, the cast shadows of the architectural details.

This is a color study for a 30"x40" painting I plan on doing of these doors.

Abstraction: Savannah Morning 032

I love what happens when you squint at a landscape and it all gels together and forms those abstract shapes of color. I didn't really do that with this piece exactly, I really just wanted to use the same color masses and arrange them in an interesting way.
