These are the pine pods that I collected from the woods yesterday. I tossed them onto the drawing table and they landed in a perfect composition. Can you believe that. Now only if these guys were all dices with the numbers seven on them. Today I ran into another pod, but it was during dog retrieval. My chocolate lab, Vira likes to run off whenever somebody leaves the gate open. I chased her into the nearby field behind my house and right before my eyes was the next gift for tomorrows painting.

Pod Pile, 6" x 6"
Labels:
"Pod Pile",
6x6",
daily painting,
oil on canvas
Since August 8, 2008, I have been inspired by the painting a day phenomenon that is happening in the blogsphere. This truly is an art movement. I started my first daily painting with a tomato from my summer garden. I will also be using my “Earth Objects” as inspiration. This should be an interesting ride.
My plan is to post a painting a day at least five days a week. Please feel free to "feed your burn" and tell other art lovers about this blog site.
Feedback
I would relish some feedback from any of the images posted. Do you like the pods?
