I think the lone white cup series might have been a bit 'o laziness rearing it's ugly head. I tried to do one today from a different perspective and couldn't with a straight face. It seems I've been opting for more simple fare, so I found this vase from a series of shots I took years ago. Fit perfectly on a 4 x 4" and it looks like i fussed.

The third and final onion! These are really time savers. I've gone from thinking one day was not nearly enough time to complete a painting to finishing today's daily in two hours! Of course the canvas is 4 x 4" and the subject is a single onion, but it is a painting and it is done. And I now have time to devote to my larger pieces.
I've got so many things I want to work on right now. I've never been this excited about painting or more intent upon concentrating on what I'm painting. I just love painless life lessons, don't you? I'm working on two larger pieces for my gallery portfolio that are really fun. A little canvas stretching party a few weeks ago resulted in some fine, large surfaces to work on.
Now I just have to honor my commitment to work while my best bud is home on vacation!
Today is a multi-tasking day. Hate that phrase, but it is what it is. Himself tells me painting always comes first, until there's no clean skivvies for work that is. Fair enough. My commute takes less than a minute and I can take my dog to work— so I guess it's time to slap on the latex and start scrubbing.
I came up with a solution for a daily however. I took a photo long ago of 3 rather attractive red onions. I'll paint one on a 4 x 4" canvas when I'm pressed for time and can't spend the day on a daily piece. I've already done this as a whole, but breaking it up into 3 separate pieces might be cool and it took me less than 2 hours. Not great paint coverage, but it's ok.
I skipped yesterday to work on a commission and didn't want to blow off two days in a row. A momentum gathers and before you know it a month has gone by with no production.
Off to be June Cleaver. Enjoy the weekend.
