Day 468: A new challenge

My art of the day keeps me up past my bedtime a bit too often, so I am imposing a new rule on myself: it must be done and posted by 10 p.m. I have changed the setting in MailChimp so that the "Art of the Day" email goes out at 10 p.m. instead of 2 a.m. (Would you like to sign up? You can do so here.)

Today's installment is nothing exciting... just a few sketches of my left hand.

Day 459

Notecard, watercolour

I am working towards a pear-themed art show, by the way. The trees painting is coming along too, and so is the song. 

Day 457

"Dusk on the Mesa", from a photograph by Summer Brennan. Watercolour, 7 x 7"

A writer/journalist whom I follow on Twitter, Summer Brennan, posted a photo a while back from New Mexico. I have been wondering how I would go about painting that image. Today I decided to go ahead and try it, in watercolour. 

Day 455

Notecard with watercolour doodle

Plus... the beginning of a new tree painting. Doesn't look like much yet but stay tuned!

Day 454

I added paint to some of my one-minute pears from the other day. Also put a last layer of top coat on my big pear painting, which is going into a show. Oh... and worked on some lyrics for a song (!?).

When it's past bedtime and the art of the day isn't working out.... weirdness ensues.
