Today was the first day back in the studio after many weeks off. I have been teaching a painting course at NVCC this summer as well as taking a course in my program of study. So it has been busy. I was inspired by a friends photo today of Dubai. The landscape was a reddish purple-- misty hue. It goes along nicely with the green palette of summer.
I found these pointy earth objects during one of my walks last week. They remind me of claws.
This is the earth object I found. If anyone can identify it, I can get the genus and species.
im-age ar´chae-ol´o-gy™, [im-ij] [ahr-kee-ol-uh-jee], n. 1. The systematic recovery by artistic methods of imagery within the ground of a painting. 2. A dig into the surface ground with the butt of a paintbrush to imprint an image. 3. The space between the figure and the ground from which emerges a skeletal impression of an image. 4. A constant searching for the middle ground through the application of paint and projected thought that culminated into a work of art.

Dubai, 60 x 60, acrylic
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.
