We have been collaborating artists our entire married lives. Our work is always evolving. The experiences we share, or individually participate in, become a part of what we create. Bruce photographs and throws pots and I paint and create jewelry and other objects from precious metals. Bruce's photos are sometimes the inspiration or reference for my paintings and often times I sculpt and carve into his pottery. The results from our combined knowledge and skills becomes something beautiful that we enjoy sharing. Enjoy.

Day #3

Another Daily Painting. This is a small 4x5 inch oil painting on a wood panel. I've been preparing the wood by sanding and gesso and giving the surface a coat of acrylic red oxide or black ivory before starting. I have a half dozen of small 4x4 inch fat canvases that I'll start with tomorrow. Let me know what you're thinking or if you have any questions because its nice to know there's someone out there reading my posts! Thank you in advance.

2018 Daily Painting Challenge

Crabby 5x8 Oil on Board #1 daily painting
 So here we are in the first month of the new year 2018. I've decided to try the daily painting
challenge that many painters have done before me.
  My artist friend, Gabby, gave me a wonderful book that has inspired me from the first page to the last and although I've been painting more regularly, I just never considered the challenge of painting everyday.
  Now, here is my decision on the matter. I've decided to paint everyday and whatever comes of the results will not deter me. I may paint over a painting, I may or may not like the image that results from a daily painting. It's all good and I will not stress over it. So before I talk or post myself out of the decision, I'll stop here!!
