day 7, 30 paintings in 30 days

i started this painting a while ago.  after finishing a smaller

similar painting i wanted a larger painting with brighter colors.

doing a painting a  day does not give much time for a thought 

process.  i like that because it encourages the intuitive decisions.  

i am also taking on a drawing challenge that i saw on instagram

under #cbdrawaday.  i have not kept up a regular drawing

practice.  i start then stop and then remember that i should start 

again.  once i make a commitment, i try to honor that and 

this will give me an incentive to draw for the month of january.  

here are my drawings to date.  i skipped on day which was sneakers

because i wasn't excited about the subject.  i will probably go back and 

give it a whirl.

and i did one more fun project with my 

experimental art group this week.  

paper dolls!

so as you can see, i've been busy!

tell me what you have been doing.
