Small daily oil paintings, painted in a plein air impressionistic style on stretched canvas or canvas board created and posted regularly. 2012 update: After 6 years, the postings now include larger paintings along with the small works. My goal is to reach 1,000 paintings posted by the end of this year. 2013 update: The original goal was met and exceeded, from now on I will post paintings that are successful or might be of interest.
Taking the recent small 5" X 7" painting of Riverbed Jewels, I painted this piece in the studio. My goal was to capture the way the late afternoon light glazes the dry brush in lavender and rust.
Hi! When I get your posts I often get them on my Google Reader which only gives me the one post not the whole blog. Because I was interested in comparing your original study with this finished piece I pulled up the whole blog so I could look back and forth between them and see what you had done........... WOW.
I can see all the things you described that you would do but I have to tell you that seeing the painting alongside it makes it all the more meaningful.
Thanks Marian and Ruth, I did change a few things since blogging this one. Mainly I broke up the brush in the foreground, into an interesting pattern and added more color. Are they ever done? Just kidding, of course but my it's tempting to tweak.

Hi Laura,
I really like this painting with the yellow-golds and the reddish-orange. Very nice.
