I love painting "alla prima", which means all at once.  Or at lease finishing a painting in one day.  It is a challenge to work the paint while the layers are still wet but it also is very gratifying and a great sense of accomplishment.  It is one of the things that draws people to paint outside.  You have to work quickly before the light changes and the paintings remain fresh and the impression of the moment is not lost.  I like to work in my studio using photos for inspiration but feel the same excitement.  I have been enjoying this challenge of so many paintings in such a short period of time as it helps me to not over think my subject choices as well.  The point is to get in there and paint!  Even if it means you find yourself wearing the paint quite  bit!

Almost half way through this challenge.  It has been keeping me busy for sure.  I worked in my studio all weekend as I won't be able to paint the next couple of weekends.  I watched a couple of old movies and the paint was flying.  I really love the color combination on this and how continent she seems!  Hope you have a fantastic Monday!

I love the bright colors of a bluebird and I have painted them often.  He looks proud puffing his chest out for all the world to admire!  Today was a much better day for ducks and geese with quite a drenching of rain that we very much needed.  My cucumbers are soaking it all up! :-)  Thanks so much for checking in with me!

Cows, Monkeys, and Taxes.....

Ever had a monkey on your back and feared this monkey had been on your back so long and was so dug into you...that you might never find a way to again walk tall and monkey free???  Well, as I have shared, I have made great strides removing a couple of persistent monkeys from my shoulders....they are very broad and felt a bit lighter for awhile but I am not free yet!!!  This task is little when you actually deal with it on a regular basis. It  is my sales and use tax for the biz.  I was going to do my next painting challenge today but decided that extreme measures were necessary...I would have to work through the day and night if necessary to get on top of this monkey and pry it free once and for all.  It has involved several chats with online operators and a fax with my amended mistakes, etc but I will prevail!!! I will no longer buy my own $%$# that says that I can't figure out this stuff.
    I am excited to share this painting with you...one of my favorite subjects!
Hope your day has been monkey free or at least that you are getting the upper hand in your monkey war!  Maybe I should think about painting a monkey....
