Painting, Painting, Painting!

I have been painting every day this past week. I've worked on a couple of bigger paintings, which I'll share in a later post. In addition I've been painting a number of small paintings.  
Best of Both Worlds

The idea is to paint fast and not overthink the process. To stay loose and paint intuitively

 I've been having a great time with these. They are all small, just 5 x 7 and 6 x 6 inches in size.

And I've been trying out a new site I have seen some of my artist friends use: Daily Paintworks. I really love many of the paintings on there. The idea is to paint every day and offer those for sale. All super affordable. Plus, you can link to Etsy, which I did for a couple of mine.

Here's my little gallery on the site if you want to have a look.

I'm linking to the always inspiring Paint Party Friday and to Creative Everyday.

Soon I'll be back with a more newsy post. Daniel started teaching again this week and we've almost got our routine down again... And then I'll be more organized with my blogging. I hope. :)

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!!

    It'll be back to the office for me on Monday, and although I enjoyed the 2 1/2 weeks off over Christmas and New Year, I am also looking forward to work and the welcome routine.
