Early morning rain clouds #507

Daily painting #507 4"x6" oil on primed canvas panel

We had a little rain in the night and the last remnants of rain clouds were hovering out at sea early this morning. We have had a sudden drop in temperature and the air has a slight freshness to it which is very unusual for this time of year. I have no doubt though that the scorching heat will return and that we haven't seen the end of summer just yet so I am enjoying the sudden change while it lasts!

Thank you to all of you who took advantage of my 30% discount coupon in the online store. I will be posting off all those little paintings in the next few days!

Late night roses #506

Daily painting #506 6"x8" oil on primed canvas panel

The bunch of roses were moved into the studio in the early morning but as the day planned out I only managed to get into the studio to paint late last night after the rest of the family were already in bed! Some days are just like that.....

Three blueberries #505

Daily painting #505 4"x6" oil on primed canvas panel

I loved every minute of getting back to my oil paints today, although I am really glad I have a few postcards to share with the postcard art group! These little blue gems were breakfast treats along with some fresh croissants and some good coffee. A fine way to start the day!

Jam Swissroll cake #501

Daily painting #501 6"x8" oil on primed canvas panel

Some little mini Swissroll treats for  my painting class's tea time! Today was not one of my better daily painting days! It seemed like a struggle today...I am tired and the heat seems to sap every ounce of energy from you. I just felt like a beginner painter, making obvious mistakes, struggling with colour and quite frankly I felt like just "throwing in the towel"! But I didn't....I pushed on through....and tomorrow is another day. Tomorrow I will feel differently! Today I didn't feel like someone who (as a good friend put it) has painted half a thousand daily paintings!
