Day 5 :: SWIMSUITS :: September Daily Paintings


SWIMSUITS
original pastel, 6x6"

$50
From our days on the beach for Labor Day weekend, I continue to be inspired by sparkles on the water. Of course I'm also inspired by our daughters. The beach is still a place for them to dig and play and I am holding on to that as long as possible. 

Their swimsuits are these awesome colors: bright neon orange and turquoise and vibrant red and purply ultramarine blue. The water struck me as striped in a way. The beach we frequent offers vistas to a lighthouse, distant land, and closer harbors. It really offers all an artist could want to soak in. 

A voice in my head is always critiquing my work. WOW! This voice is LOUD! Sometimes I think that is why social media is a helpful aid. Having support and comments and purchases (!!!) from you all really matters. Thank you!

The acrylic is fun to see, much larger and flat and free and still sparkly. I'm going to revisit this one again when I have more time. I need to elongate an arm (can you tell which one?)

Since it's the Monday holiday, my family is waiting for me to finish these paintings and posts so I can go for a bike ride through the wonderful field in our neighborhood. I'm sure I'll continue to be inspired.

Yesterday the girls and I made homemade marshmallows. I took a bunch of photos of them and now I want to paint them! We shall see.

PRICING NOTE:  I am taking this challenge to heart and taking risks. The work created is a labor of love and learning. For this #30in30 challenge my pieces are experiments and priced accordingly. Each piece is $50 ($10 shipping if you're not local) rather than $125 for my usual gallery-worthy work. Only my pastels will be available at this time. Email kimweineck@gmail.com to purchase. Of course, thank you! 

Thanks for reading! ~kmw

Day 4 :: WINDBLOWN :: September Daily Paintings


WINDBLOWN

original pastel, 6x6"
$50 + shipping

Simplify! This mantra is repeated and repeated whenever I paint. Today I think I took it to heart. I love how this looks. Clean and placed and deliberate.  The pastels have me pent up and focused on detail.

The sparkle obviously continues to haunt my mind. Can you blame me?

Working larger and in acrylic with tubs of paint makes for different effects. I'll discuss them more in a future post. Mark making, color choices, and economy of brushstrokes are all on my mind. On day 3 of all this work I am starting to feel a change. Come October, it'll be great to look back!!

I'm so busy with the holiday weekend and celebrating Labor Day and our anniversary weekend fun. I'm cutting this short but am happy that I got a painting in. Yippee!
