Daily Painting Sept 2017 :: No. 4 of 30

When people ask where my paintings are from I am sometimes specific and sometimes vague. Many times the work can be from anywhere. The prior paintings of the #30in30 were of a typical imagined English countryside. Now where is today's painting from?

It'd be nice to say it's from my imagination, and while it sort of is, it is inspired by my glorious neighborhood. Living with nearly 200 acres of conservation land is an inspiring gift, and one that I count my blessings for every day.

 Queen Anne's Lace is in bloom now. It's the tail end of a long season of the wildflower. This year was magnificent. I'll need to buy a giant canvas and really do some of my photos and memories justice.

If you're on Instagram follow me @kimweineck and scroll back to see. I'm sure you'll find a lot of the neighborhood field. It's a sacred spot for me.

Daily Painting Sept 2017 :: No. 1 of 30

It's another September and again I've accepted the #30in30 daily painting challenge. With upcoming shows and a busy commission/work/teaching/parenting schedule, I've decided to switch things up this year and will do 3x3" oil paintings on 5x7" Arches Oil Paper.

Oils take longer for me than pastels because all colors I use must be mixed. It takes practice and this monthly challenge will give me just that.

At the start of summer I rewatched Miss Potter about Beatrix and ultimately her role in conserving England's Lake District. The rolling hills and farms are a landscape I dream about! Today's painting is about mixing all the greens! Photographing this proved quite a challenge, but I think the gist comes across.

At the end of the month, I'm going to put all of the work up for sale, first-come-first-served at $35 each (a steal!) Follow along with me and see if there's one or more you may want. The 5x7" size will be easy to frame and mat. I'm going to collect some frames during the month for ones I may want to keep :)

I'm looking forward to seeing how the collection looks -- always funny to think of on day one!
