Daily Painting

 Floral with Gladiolas 8" x 8"
 Still Life with Red Pears 10" x 10"
Pumpkins Alla Prima 10" x 10"

I've been painting daily all through October and posting on Facebook on Painting October (Daily Challenge), finding time every day even if it's a quick study.  The challenge is sponsored by Muse Art and Design, my favorite neighborhood supply store, maybe I'll win something if I complete the challenge!  Sometimes I procrastinate on painting a still life and the flowers wilt and the fruit gets eaten, but because of this commitment, I'm motivated!  Painting inside on a gray, rainy day from a real scene in my home or a photo on the computer, is a change from painting outside. When the weather allows, I get out to paint plein air, hoping to capture the Fall colors before they fade and blow away.

Pumpkin Time



A beautiful Fall day at Sauvie Island Farm where I painted among the flower fields looking towards distant pumpkins waiting to be picked.  Sunflowers are fading but zinnias and dahlias are bright.  There are hay bale pyramids and mounds of pumpkins and squashes of every type.  More pumpkin pics to come!
