Day 7 and 8 (30 day art challenge)

Wow, I make art pretty much every day but I am only at day 8 and am having more difficulty with the documenting of my progress, than the actual doing. One thing is for sure, I do more each day than I think I do!
Here is the progress of my current painting. It is not done. I need to sit on it and work on something else....

Day 7 and most of today. The background needs help!

At the last moment when I was cleaning up I got rid of the flower in the right upper corner. 

Getting close, I will see what it looks like in the daylight.

Day 6 (yesterday)

Taught a collage class with 5 lovely women in attendance. This did not leave a lot of time for art but I managed to "finish" my classroom samples....

They are just loose journal style pieces on red rosin paper, but I feel good finishing them...

Day 5

I am getting ready to teach a collage class tomorrow, so my art for today was getting ready with samples and partially finished pieces for demo:

Work in stages

Creating a collage "charachter

Gel transfer (work in progress...!)

Day 4

A good day painting today. This piece went through a lot of versions...from this:

to this:

to my stopping point today...before I mess it up! Let's see what I think of it tomorrow....

Day 3 (yesterday)

added more green, time to carve something out of this mess!

Day 2

Busy day getting the studio ready for a class this weekend. I managed to "make a mess" on top of a painting that was not working for me. I noticed it did not have any green in it, so I added green ink and paint. I am trying to get the distracting figures to go away, they are just not right. So it went from this:

to this....

I basically flipped it upside down. The photo is not great. I can still see the figures, but there are some really pretty areas I will keep... 

and I see something else to work with, hopefully tomorrow it will still call me. 

This is how it goes with my paintings sometimes. On the other hand I finished a small painting:

I am thinking I need to do this one BIG...I love the face.

Day 1

I decided to participate in Traci Bunker's "30 Days Get Your Art On." Of course today was crazy busy so I decided to play with some mini canvas I had laying around. A little ink and some paint....

I must say...a bit addicting. Here are some close ups of the 2 I finished: 

Hopefully tomorrow I can work bigger. At least I did some art...that is the point isn't it.
