Life is Bowl of Cherries

7x7 inches, oil on canvas panel

I have drawings and paintings stacked up  at home, waiting to be photographed and posted, but here is my latest effort, a quick oil sketch that was a lot of fun to do.

I am currently doing a class in Florida, related to my other profession in the area of nutrition and health.

It has been heavenly to escape winter this year since it was a particularly brutal one in my area of the world.

I have managed to fit in a few painting sessions despite the busy schedule here.

If I could eat cherries every day, I would, but sadly we have to wait all year to enjoy them around early July. Something to look forward to after this long winter!

The Daily Painting Habit - Day 19 of 21 - Sport: Work In Progress!

10 x 8 inches - Oil on Archival Panel - "SPORT"

So, nearing the end of this challenge, I am realizing that I am constitutionally not cut out for completing a painting, even a small one, in a day. I need time to ponder and figure out if I am 100% happy. That is how I feel about this one, which is finished, yet I am not sure I won't revisit some tiny details once it is dry.

This cute puppy, like all babies, was a bit of a challenge. It is very easy to age the young of any species. I am going to let this dry and hit it again soon, especially with regard to brightening up some highlights, warming up the background just a touch and some other small details, but the bones are there.
