Inspiration from Vietnam

My sister and I traveled through Vietnam this summer.  We both fell in love with the homes in the country.  Many of the old homes are a mix of Vietnamese and French Colonial architecture.  They are stunning.  This painting was done from a photo my sister took as we traveled from Ha Long Bay to Hanoi.

Twenty Paintings Down

Here is my 20th painting.  I really can't believe there are only ten paintings left.  This project has been a mind-blowing experience so far and I hope to finish off strong.  

Below is Elise Wehle's latest work.  She actually started the background while we were driving to Portland.  Amazing!

Here are the 11th and 12th paintings.  

As many of you know, at the end of the 30 Paintings in 60 Days Project, there will be an art show for everyone to come see the finished artwork.  So although I do mean to post a photo of each painting as I do them, I also want there to be some surprise paintings at the show!  Above I have depicted just small details of paintings 6 & 7 so they will still be a surprise for everyone.

I love the teal color in Elise Wehle's latest work below.  Annie Henrie is up to speed on her paintings as well, but has kept photos tightly under wraps for the upcoming art show.  Thanks as always for following along and I love to hear from you!  

Day 6 of 60

Cascade     8" x 12"    $150

I am happy to say I have made it to day 6 of 60. Here is my painting based on the drawing that follows. It was inspired by my total obsession with chandeliers.  My husband can vouch that whenever we go to Lowe's or Home Depot, I am always eyeing the chandeliers. My favorite is the caged chandelier from Restoration Hardware.  This painting was inspired by two chandeliers depicted below.

What do you think of the painting? As always, I appreciate your comments.

Here is Elise Wehle's second piece of artwork!  She is going strong on the project as well.

Day 4 of 60: Sweet Succulents

"Sweet Succulents"    8" x 8"   $100.00

I fell in love with these beautiful succulents—their smoothness, color and hardiness. Surprisingly, they were fun to paint! I had anticipated the 60 Days of Painting challenge to be stressful, but so far it has been enjoyable. Whenever I paint, I obsess over every detail; I never want to say a painting is "finished" since I always see room for improvement. Having a deadline helps me let go and enjoy the results.  

Below is a sneak preview of the painting I began today. Stay posted for the finished artwork tomorrow.
Also be sure to check out Elise Wehle's artwork for the project as well.
