#1 of 50 Mini Daily Paintings in 50 Days
On September 1st, I started a personal challenge to create 50 mini paintings in 50 days. What a challenge to find the time to paint, photograph and post! Prioritize I keep telling myself. Stick with the purpose. The purpose is to keep growing as an artist. Today is actually day 8 of the challenge...I am a little behind in the photographing and posting parts.
I set up an area in the studio to improve my pictures. I pulled out a tripod, connected the camera, mounted the mini on another easel in front of the camera, lined it all up perfectly and figured out the best settings. I photographed this painting earlier in the week, but did not leave up my set up for more photos. Then I realized, hey - I am going to do 50 of these little gems, so I better get organized.
Having a system in place is the only way I can get things done. Don't know if I made sense, got to go paint!

I can relate. Being organized is important. Not one of my strengths. This is really nice. Like the richness of the saturated color of the berries. Keep painting.
agreed! I want to see more of these!
Thanks! They are piling up on my desk. Yesterday I took some photos and posted on my personal blog. I will try to post on here later today to show a couple of days paintings.
It's called 'working smart', and saves so much more time to just paint. I love this - the color of the blueberries is perfection.
I can't wait to see more, Mary Beth!
I really like this blueberry painting. The smoky blue is well done and realistic.
Great little painting... and wow, kudos for the impressive goal and creative organization. I agree with Claire, it's the only way to work. :) Look forward to seeing more!
