Second Day of the 30 in 30 Event

Actually it's Day 3 on the official 30 in 30 blog, but since this is my second post for me it is Day 2.

Changed the set up a bit to add another color.  I'm working with very thick brushstrokes which I don't often do.  The oils are mixed with Gamblin Solvent Free Gel.  Tomorrow wax will be added to cut done on the gloss, right now the paintings glisten.

  1. Love the texture on your painting and color of the apple Laurel. It looks fresh and yummy.

    1. Saw your ever so shiny green apples on the 30 in 30 blog. It takes real commitment for a busy mother to paint. You paint very deftly.

  3. Thanks for the encouraging comments. I can see the improvement in my painting between this year and the 30 in 30 last January. However this is going to be harder than I thought, with the physical therapy and the just plain healing. But I will do what I can, without pushing myself. It's better that a do a little than nothing at all.

  4. Yes, truly that is what I think...the less pressure the better. I always say, we don't want to come out of this Challenge hating to paint! I look forward to your next one...
