I seem to love making monsters! This was from March Break. We made the shape with newspaper and masking tape, and then used plaster strips. I also love painting sculptures black before adding colour. I find with children’s projects it looks more ‘finished’ if bits of black show through versus bits of white.
This art project was done around Valentine’s Day and was inspired by artist Jim Dine.
We used papiér maché to create the hearts. The shape was made with two pieces of bristle board taped together and stuffed with newspaper. It’s mounted on plywood with a dowel keeping it upright.
Once dry, we painted them black and then painted them with other colours that we mixed with white.
As part of January’s paint-a-thon, I completed this piece. I had to wait until I could get it to the person for whom it was painted before posting it. This was inspired by a painting she liked and from photos from one of her vacations.
I painted this twice. The first time was with oil on canvas and I hated it. This one I did with acrylic on gesso board and was much happier with the results. I also found a nice frame for it and wish I had a picture with the frame because they went so well together.

Day 20 of the 30 Day painting challenge. I loved the first painting of the orange so much that I had to do a second.

Day 8 of the 30 Day Painting Challenge.
When I paint in the mornings, I often listen to CBC Radio. Today, after Q, a rerun of the Debaters was on, and even though I had heard it before, I couldn’t keep from giggling. Not good when trying to paint.

Day 7 the 30 Day Painting Challenge. I finished this painting after the sun went down yesterday and had no natural light to photograph it so this post is a little late.
This scene is from a drive across Hwy 9 in which we explored some of the side roads on our way home from Orangeville on New Year’s Day.

Day 5 of the 30 Day Painting Challenge.
I have been painting each painting the same day as posting it online and today I slept in longer than I have in a long time. So with less time, I chose a smaller canvas and returned to winter.

Day 4 of the 30 Day Painting Challenge. I went back to fall colours for today’s painting. This was painted from a photo taken during a walk in a nearby park on a beautiful October evening.

Ok, so I’ve already missed a day for the 30 Day Painting Challenge. Yesterday was very busy but I’ll make up for it over the weekend.
Here is my second painting:
