Art Tripping to Portland

The 17th painting is completed!  It has been a busy weekend.  Fellow artists Annie Henrie, Elise Wehle and I took a road trip to Oregon this weekend.   Annie needed to drop off some paintings at her gallery in Cannon Beach, so we accompanied her on the adventure.  

On the way, we explored Portland's art scene and discovered some gorgeous new painters.  Below is "Say a Prayer for the Dying" by Gabriel Liston and a landscape by Stephen Hayes.

The other great art we found was at Voodoo Doughnuts, a quirky independent doughnut shop in the heart of Portland.  I loved the topiary monster in the parking lot and their signature pink doughnut boxes.

 Other trip highlights included Multnomah Falls and the gorgeous (but very cold) Cannon Beach.  We sketched and painted by the beach.  I hope the trip inspires some beautiful art in the last remaining 26 days of the project!

Here is the 16th painting!  I love drips.

Elise Wehle's most recent work titled "Where the Land Ends" (below) reminds me of Lake Louise in Canada.  

Falling Sky

I completed my fifth painting last night. This one is much larger than the others - 23" x 30". The large format made it much more challenging and fun.  I love painting large because you have room for broad textures, sweeping loose brushstrokes, and movement.

60 Days of Painting

March is going to be a great month for painting!  This March and April I am taking the challenge to paint 30 paintings in 60 days.  Fellow artists Elise Wehle and Annie Henrie are also participating in the challenge. 

Please feel free to follow my blog as I post a painting every two days.  The focus of the project is to enjoy the process of painting, not to worry and labor over every meticulous detail.  If you have any comments, image or theme ideas, leave them below or on my facebook page.  I would love to hear from you.  All paintings that will be posted are for sale.  Please contact me if you see one that you would like to have in your home.

Above is the first painting.  Below you can see the wood panels Annie and I made for the project!  It is difficult to see, but there really are 30 panels here.

Also, I am happy to announce that you can currently purchase prints and originals of my artwork on the following sites:
