Agust 17th, Wednesday!

With a White Gesso Ground

Today was my last day of official SUMMER.  And I was bummed that I haven't painted since some crappy attempts at Plein Air saturday afternoon at the cottage in Door County, so I painted a couple versions of Max's yellow cup/mug...
  I mean, it just seems that if the VIEW is great, shouldn't it be easy to PAINT it?!  Man....
And I was excited to try to use some of Carol Marine's tips in my acrylic this morning.  I DO want to do oil, like I did all last week, but it is just trickier for me to get that all set up, and our basement flooded last night, and blah blah blah, excuse excuse excuse.

With a Black Gesso Ground

SO what I want to try to do is to get on a daily painting dealio, where I auction off a painting every day.  I want to try to start in September.  This may be ridiculous, as I am committed to a few shows here and there where I also need to have some STOCK to sell, but since I do love to paint, I thought I'd give this a shot.  What will happen is I will post a painting a day, like I have with the dogs and the cats, but THIS time you will be able to bid on the piece in an on-line auction (like e-bay) and by the end of 7 days, it can be yours!  I want to start the pieces at the low end of the price scale, again probably ridiculous, but what the heck?  I can always quit, can't I?  So, I think I'll start the first few bids at between $25 and $50 bucks~  and the pieces will all be small, like 6x6...
Any comments or ideas for me, I would REALLY appreciate hearing them!
lovkat!
