whoo hoo!

31st, Tuesday- i did some errands, needed some liquin, bought a brush half off, stopped at the library to return some books, went to devotional with my hubby.
1st, Wednessday- i painted.





 2nd, Thursday- i painted.

 3rd, Friday, today i painted.



bla bla bla:
ok now my new goals are to get up earlier so i can start painting sooner.  wed. and thurs. were overcast days so there wasn't as much light coming through my window by the time i started painting.  i had to use warm indoor light instead of outdoor light more those days.  it is harder to know if your colors are right or good in warm or cold light.
i'm not sure if i want to do any more in this series.  we will have to see.  i may want to work a little more on composition and color.  i am pretty proud of my trees and showing distance in the paintings.  i look at them and i say, they are not perfect. :(  but i am excited to be practicing painting, and i believe with determination and habit i will become better.
tomorrow, saturday i think i will read up more on painting landscapes and the rules associated with them.  i think i will put more planning in composition and color.
some time i will line these paintings up for one picture to see them complete together, they are just a little wet, thats also why i just hold the frame up to them instead of putting them in the frames.

sum it up: i am proud of my paintings although they are not perfect.
goals: get up earlier, work on composition, read up and take notes on rules and procedures of landscape painting.  make a wall of painting quotes.
