Today was an audaciously AWESOME spring day. Everything about it was PERFECT, perfect enough to sit out on the patio and do nothing but savor being alive. Sun on my skin, breeze in my hair, birds chirping, garden starting to pop…what more could you ask…
It was a day for landscapes. These are from my iPad. Studies for paintings? Prints? What do you think?
Garden: View from the Patio

I did this one today. Plein aire ipad. The sun and the shadows were intense, emboldened me. This piece has a totally different feel than the one I made yesterday (arrow pointing down).
Meadow with Pond
2014 Susan Lobb Porter
This was from a photo I’d taken a few years ago of a nearby meadow (not my meadow). The photo was washed out and I think that influenced how I approached the painting. I remember the sky and pond in real life as being quite blue. The Scotch Broom was in bloom, bright yellow and the meadow was thick with purple lupines. I think I’ll do this one again in the style of the first just to see how it comes out. Check back next week and see.
Do you have a favorite? I’d love to know…we’ll call it market research. Let me know in the comments below.
Until next week–

This is it, my sweetums, the last day of Leslie Saeta’s 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge.
And I did it. Didn’t miss a day.
I’ll write more about that later, in other posts. Maybe even tomorrow. Because facing da muse everyday was an eye opening experience.
Women in Red # 30
This is Women in Red # 30. She’s the last one for the 30 Day challenge. But not the last one ever. Because I don’t think I’m through with these ladies yet. In fact I know I’m not. And I’m nowhere near through exploring digital image making.
I may bring some of these studies to life on canvas. I’ll make that decision later.
Meanwhile it’s late. And I hear my bed calling my name.
Till tomorrow.

30 Paintings 30 Days, day 28.
TWENTY-EIGHT!!! IT’S DAY TWENTY–DIGITAL-PAINTINGS-LATER–EIGHHHHHHHHHHHHT!!!
I would do the happy dance except right now there’s a cat perched on my shoulder. She’s old but her teeth are still sharp and those claws are totally capable of drawing blood. So no happy dance, just a quiet celebration that HOLY CRAP I’m almost there. ‘There‘ being finished with this particular daily painting challenge.
I’m sure there will be more, I’m growing rather fond of regularly working out my creative muscle. We’ll see. I really need to get back to rebuilding my official art website. And work on that novel.
And figure out how to clone myself so I can keep making art every day. Like this:

So what’s their story? Because every painting has a story. I’d love to hear what this image brings to mind for you. You can share your thoughts in the comments below. I promise I will eat chocolate as I read and respond to each and EVERY one. You wouldn’t want to deprive me of my chocolate, would you?

30 Paintings 30 Days, day 27
Twenty-seven paintings down, three to go, every one of which were created on my ipad. I’m kind of blown away by that, as I had no prior experience with digital painting before this.
I’m still playing with the technology but when it comes down to it, painting is painting.
Some just messier than others.

What do you think the story is behind these women? Hint: There is a story…a different one for each of us, I’m sure. I’d love to hear yours in the comments below.
I’ll be back tomorrow with some more Women in Red.
Till then, sweetums—

30 Paintings 30 Days, day 25
Once upon a time, like three days ago, I did a really sucky painting. Today I decided to do it again, sans the sucky part.

She’s much better now. Nothing is the same here. Different digital brushes, different composition. The only similarities are the red dress and the beach.
But it’s STILL a do over in my head. Don’t you think?
