Day Eight of Thirty!


"Fusilli" 7x10cm watercolor on paper

I am over the threshold of the first week and find the challenge demanding. I'm trying to keep the paintings simple. I am impressed by what the other artist are producing on a daily basis (see for yourselves by clicking here). I was off track for a couple days and am now trying to catch up. This is a personal challenge, no one is checking on me but I want to see if I can devote myself to painting on a more regular basis, hopefully this will be something I can carry forward once it is over (but not on the weekends!).

Day eight I painted fusilli pasta. I might continue with this, I think it is fun. A solitary object on a page represents a challenge because the the focus is on the single item, nothing detracts from it. I like the bit of striped cloth as a backdrop because it echoes the swirls of the pasta. Well, I still need to catch up with day nine, whew!"
