This is a small abstract study for the larger painting below. In this one I'm working out my colors that I used in the larger piece. This one below will be for sale at LONA Gallery in downtown Lawrenceville, GA

Green Heirloom Tomato with Pink Background - Day 6

Watercolor on Hot Press Paper

Here I'm continuing to experiment with using complimentary colors in different values. I almost went with more of a wine color paper behind the tomato but the lighter pinkish colored paper seem to make the tomato stand out more.
I missed Day 5 in my "30 paintings In 30 Days" but I plan on really sticking with this from here on. I enjoy working with watercolors mainly because of the beautiful luminous qualities achieved when layering them.

Day One

I have decided to enter the challenge called "30 paintings in 30 days" from artist Leslie Saeta's blog. I'm doing this because my word this year is "motivation". I believe this challenge and the message taught by my pastor today here sends a clear message for me to pick up my brushes and paint. So here goes. This is day one.

My only rules are that I must paint from life and as I see it (no photo references) and I must paint with all my heart with no excuses.
