Another colorful day in the studio. It's fun incorporating my studio quilts into my paintings.

OK…just one last time. Today it was oils and a palette knife.

Still more liquorice!

I decided to do “Liquorice Trio No. 2″ in oils today. I’m really happy with the peaks and brushstrokes I’m getting in my work lately. In both acrylic and oil. Since today’s painting is still drying I thought I’d just show you a close up.

So, I’m still wondering…are you a liquorice lover? If so have you ever tried BLACK JACK gum? It was my Grandpa Muller’s favorite…and maybe an upcoming model…since I’m on a liquorice kick.

6″x6″, acrylic on canvas panel

Originally painted on March 14, 2011.

I painted this for the Daily Paintworks Color of White Challenge. The challenge was to place a mostly white object on a piece of print fabric and observe what happens to the white object AND you could only use primary and secondary colors. Pop on over and see what others have come up with.

8″x6″ oil on canvas panel

I have A LOT of paintings to show you. I think from now on I’m going to post them when they are dry and ready to go in my Etsy shop, painted chic. I’m a horrible photographer and they look so much better when I use the scanner.

Notice anything different? I ran out of 6″x6″ canvas panels, so I’ve been trying some different sizes. Today’s painting is 8″(w) x 6″(h). It has kind of thrown me for a loop. I’ve been painting 6-inch square for quite some time, but I’m getting the hang of a few different sizes.

MARCH DAILY PAINTING CHALLENGE UPDATE
It is March 13 and I have 12 paintings completed. I’m behind by one painting!
