Jan. 30: Martin

Martin
Oil on canvas paper/ Arches 9 x 12''
I don't know who took this photo of my friend Martin, but I asked Martin if I could use it as reference for a painting.  I love this pose of him painting with watercolors.
Today is the final day of the 30 paintings in 30 days.  It was a fun challenge.  I admit I painted 2 some days, then had to skip a day.  Life responsibilities gets in the way sometimes!  I do believe it is a great way to program yourself to paint every day you can squeeze one in.  My friend Tammy Dickerson started a painting a day over a year ago….and she is still at it!  Amazing.

NOTE:  I just found out it was John Lorenz that took this wonderful composed photo of Martin.  And I thank John for allowing me to post the photograph of my painting, using his photo as reference.
