Broken Family

So I found several little bottles and set up a great still life. Unfortunately as I sat down to paint it, I bumped the table and one fell over, rolled off the table and shattered on the floor:( So I picked up the pieces and painted it anyway.

Tangerine Tango

It's been hectic over the Holidays and once again I am behind on updating my site. I've been following http://www.dailypaintworks.com/ and am going to join. It is a fascinating site that has weekly challenges for it's members. You can post every day and auction off your art. This weeks challenge was the color of the year ...Tangerine Tango :)

I found this Kokeshi doll in my house and I was inspired to paint it for the challenge. Yes there is not much tangerine on the figure but I thought it was just enough for a great little painting. I'm hoping this will challenge me to be more on the ball and post every day...or at least once a week :)

On a side note I have not heard back from the round of submissions I sent off, but it's still early and I have no doubt I will get picked up soon.
