DAY 1 OF THE 100 DAY PROJECT

   Day 1 W.I.P. Magnolia Study in oils on canvas 7x5"(13x18cm)

   Because I need the paintings to be a little more dry so I can refine them, the oil paintings will never (rarely) be ready on the same day.

   With all this projects I like to do something different to my norm (portraits)... so just outside my comfort zone I decided to paint flowers.

  I've been avoiding painting flowers because it feels like a cliche, women painting flowers, but when I look at the beautiful dutch still lifes... those flowers ROCK! How can I not paint them...Hopefully by the end of the #the100dayproject I will be a little bit closer to the dutch still lifes! (Wishful thinking!!)

  When the paintings are dry and varnished they will be put up for sale! Keep an eye on them!

  The #the100dayproject was created by Elle Luna and you can check her website elleluna.com

STORY OF ME WEEK 4...

And last week!

My last phrase is "The queen could dance fantastically. Do you like my story?"

And this project came to a full circle!
The first illustration we see my author thinking about what she was going to write!
In the last one the book is ready and she is reading it to a young group of fans! Did they like the story? Of course they did! She is an amazing author!

STORY OF ME WEEK 3

My author sent me next week's phrase: "the children played with the queen".

Today it is so dark that even the flash doesn't help!
