Mountains
Yesterday I finished up the above painting. I had originally planned on a forest in the front, but decided against it as I really liked the meadow look.
The paintings keep coming!
While the 30 days of art are complete, I still have the drive to keep painting! This morning I finished the house below, which I started yesterday. The wolf at the waterfall I did the previous day. One final picture for today. I just had that need to get a little more painting in this

Day 30!
Day 30 is officially complete! It’s been easier than I thought to make time to paint. Going forward I plan on focusing on fewer paintings, but to spend more time on those paintings. Hopefully I can keep it up and learn some new techniques.
Day 29

Bonus
It’s been a very long time since I’ve painted with oils so I decided to do one for a bonus painting for the day. Turns out I probably should have replaced those paints years ago. It took me a little longer to work them into a usable state, but I did have fun with the
Day 26
I ended up painting on a rather small canvas. I didn’t have the energy to do a larger canvas this morning, but I wanted to do something. Tried a barn based on a recent Bob Ross video I watched. He was an amazing guy and I thought there wasn’t much to learn from watching videos
Day 25
Today’s painting has me thinking about being up in the mountains of New Mexico. A quick hike up the mountain from the “family” cabin finds you surrounded by aspen. It’s the kind of place I could set up in a hammock and go to sleep in an instance. Then again, it might just be the
