This is the first time I have painted a donut. What a great excuse to buy donuts.  Next time, a jelly donut.....

Painting a day, February 25, 2013 

 

My photos are looking so washed out.  I need an intervention for my photo taking skills.  My husband is going to help me with this.  Look for this post again.  Plus I have discovered a new source of frames call Franken Frames. Tomorrow I will post a photo of the new frames I plan to use for the 6 x 6 sizes.  They are black and sort of contemporary looking.  The service from Franken Frames is outstanding and prompt.  The frames were very well packed and arrived in perfect condition. 

 

 

 

 

After getting some help, I think this photo looks better

Painting for Today, February 24, 2013

Yesterday I made a trip to the thrift store.  Here are two of my purchases.  I used construction paper for the flat surfaces which was suggested by Carol Marine in one of her ArtBytes on the Daily Painters website.

It is so dreary here that I thought doing a painting of the beach would be a good idea.

This is the second one of the Capitol that I did from the same photo (actually I've done several larger ones, too).  First, I see that the photo looks so much darker than the actual painting.  The one that was posted yesterday had more contrasting colors.   It's good practice to do the same thing a couple of times.  The big lesson is that I need to improve my photo taking skills.
