Daily Painting Challenge #16: Abstract.

Didn't have fun with this one. I like things to look like real things and make sense. I think I choose the subjects I like to paint because I want to capture some aspect of beauty or peacefulness or solitude. But it was good to break out of the mold and try something new. 

Daily Painting Challenge #15: Stripes.

Daily Painting Challenge #14: Stack of items.

"Stack of items" made me think of a haystack ...which then made me think of  Monet's Haystack painting.  So I painted that instead.  

Daily Painting Challenge #13: Plein Air.

Plein Air is a French expression which means "in the open air" and is particularly used to describe the act of painting outdoors. I sat out and painted the trees in my backyard - bad weekend to do so at almost 90 degrees!
