Day 17

6x8 inch oil on panel.

This was day two of breaking waves.  Again a messy challenge and am not as satisfied as I was with the previous one, but I never expected to painted 30 paintings in 30 days that were all satisfactory.  This is supposed to be a challenge, not just to complete the required number of paintings in the set time frame to to challenge myself with something different or more challenging.  As a whole, I'm not unhappy with what I have done so far and feel that I'm learning something every day. 

Up until now I've been painting mostly landscapes so I thought that I might try some still life in this quick painting style for the second part of the month and see how that goes.  Maybe some flowers thrown in since, although I've painted a lot of flowers in watercolours, I've never attempted them in oils.  

Here's Day 17.  This is not a good photo of this.  I will be scanning them all after I'm through to get some good images.  I'll be posting them next month as a group.
