Day 4 :: WINDBLOWN :: September Daily Paintings

WINDBLOWN
by Kim Morin Weineck
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!

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 gallery-worthy work. Only my pastels will be available at this time. Email kimweineck@gmail.com to purchase. Of course, thank you!

Day 2 :: WATER SPARKLE :: September Daily Paintings

WATER SPARKLE
by Kim Morin Weineck
original pastel, 6x6"
SOLD! 

Although the girls began school Tuesday, today they had off. Right when we are feeling a groove - BLAM! And into this blam I come to make art. September is a tough month for this challenge. 

Many artists I have studied and follow paint sparkles with ease. The twinkling light is such a draw in the landscape. I stop whenever I see it and I stare and think how easy it would be to paint that. Today painting said "Ha!" 

Learning is part of this challenge and I set forth to learn. Don't tell Tim, but what I may have learned is that I need to buy more pastels ;)

WATER SPARKLE

original acrylic, 18x18"

This larger-scale acrylic painting came first. I loved the process of painting it. As I mentioned before, BIG size, BIG brushes, BIG shapes. And then little tiny sparkles. At the end I like the modulation of marks. Perhaps I should revisit the pastel and mix up the sizes of the sparkle. Eureka!
