Recently I took an online class with an artist I admire greatly, Leslie Saeta. She paints totally with a palette knife and uses big blobs of juicy paint. I also subscribe to her blog and it appears for a number of years she has led a large group of painters in this challenge of doing a painting every day in the month of September.
A couple of my FB friends have done it, and are doing it this year. While I am not very good at commitment, I decided to join my friends. It's fun to share something that one has accomplished, and I love talking art.
I began this small 5x7" canvas this morning with the thought of a "C" composition. Why C? I dunno, I like them and it's a popular letter. I used acrylics, gesso, collage materials and some inks. Leslie will notice I am using some of her techniques which I just learned last month. Elma, my ongoing mentor and teacher, will notice my struggle with abstract and her influence also.
Now my head is beginning to plan tomorrow's painting. I love this, yay!
