I’m finally starting to wear a hat when I’m out in the sun. It’s vicious!

We’ve been at a family reunion all day. Now were heading out for a few drinks with the family.

This was painting no. 33 in my quest to become a daily painter. I'm still trying to achieve a real daily painting practice...at least for a year. SOON!

Strawberries and Cream

I'm just finally learning to like strawberries.

This is the last of the instant milk paintings for a while. It turns into a nice yogurt-ish consistency when it sits out for a few days. :)

Mid-Century Milk

Last fall I found this glass at the thrift store. I couldn't believe my luck! It's so mid-century modern and I am crazy about that stuff at the moment. I finally got the courage to paint it. I think I'll give it another try tomorrow.

PLEASE NOTE: I'm trying to get better at taking pictures of my paintings instead of scanning them. This way I can post them the day I paint them...which is really nice. What I was thinking is much fresher in my mind. I think the colors are mostly correct. We can compare in a few days when it dries and I can scan it in.

Here are some fun Mid-Century Modern links:


Enjoy!

My scanned image is MUCH, MUCH more representative of what this painting looks like! I'll have to keep experimenting with photographing my paintings.

One of my all time favorites. I painted this in 2010...must have been beginners luck!

I have been busy working on a HUGE quilting project and have had my hands dirty dyeing fabric. I finally did get a painting done this weekend! Yeah!

Pinstripes

No. 237, 6"x6", oil on gessoboard, ©2013 Heather Hingst Bennett

Remember those 80s pinstriped jeans? You know you've got a pair stashed somewhere. Here's a picture to remind you of how cool they were or if you are too young to remember them.

Simply Red

No. 234, 6"x6", oil on gessoboard, ©2013 Heather Hingst Bennett

I have gone from wanting all the rooms in our home painted a different color to wanting everything white. All white walls. So far, the dining room was the first to go. It was green...now it's white. I should have took a before picture, but I'll try to remember to snap an after...when it's all done. :)
