Bishop Epic Golf Game...what a feeling...
Yesterday was one of those days in the studio that is like the scene in the movie "Caddy Shack", where the bishop has the greatest golf game of his life. He keeps winning. I had one of the most productive days ever as I completed four paintings. They all just seemed to come together and the timing could not be better. Below are the completed paintings.

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.

Pinergy, 50" x 70", Acrylic

I have finally finished this painting that I started last month. It has gone through many generations of color and layering and it seems to be "needy". I decided not to give her any more energy due to the lack of energy in my field lately. There are so many layers to paintings just like in relationships. Paintings are complex and never solved. They seem to be organic in nature and like relationships they unfold and sometimes get smothered in too much paint.
