#030 - $100

I can't believe I'm posting #30 already! Daily painting has been great for me, and I'm excited to continue with it into 2015.  Today I'm posting a painting from one of my favorite hiking trails here in Big Canoe, where I live.  This fall is simply called the "Lower Falls"... I suppose it's named that because it's down hill from the "Upper Falls"... go figure. haha

It really is a wonderful place to be and enjoy, whether hiking or just sitting .... in any season.  I've painted it in every season, and have to admit during the winter months it holds something special to me. 

This painting is on a 6"x6" wrapped canvas, 2" deep. See photos below. I like that it doesn't need to be framed. It seems more infinite that way.

I was so excited about the results of bowl games yesterday that I couldn't sleep last night! Well, it's true... but it's also an excuse for posting a painting I actually did a couple of years ago.  The other excuse is that I spent all day packing away Christmas decorations, dismantling mantles, and sweeping up pine needles. I hurried with these chores, but somehow the day got away from me and there was no time left for painting.

This painting was painted (roughly) from a friend's photograph taken in a hotel lounge somewhere in Toronto, Canada.  I completed a series of paintings from her "bar top" photos, and from time to time, still paint from these awesome references.  This one is on a wrapped canvas so the painting actually continues around the side for 2".  It measures 18" x 18", and is still one of my favorites.

All these days off for the holidays, and now it's the weekend! Hope yours is great!
