I was going to take the weekend off from blogging, but I received an email this morning that I want to share.

I can think of many other portrait artists who deserve this more than me, so this is such an honor. Wow!! Thank you, Anuj, and Feedspot!!

She Won’t Let Go oil portrait painting No 2

You might remember this one from last summer. I ended up finishing this oil portrait painting months ago, but I neglected to write a blog post about it. 

Katherine Jeanne Wood - Girl and Her Chicken oil portrait painting - She Won't Let Go No 2
She Won’t Let Go No 2

She Won’t Let Go No 1 resides in Germany. The difference between the two paintings is great. The first one I did while I was taking a class with Misty Mawn years ago. Our assignment was to paint an animal. I’m not sure why I picked a chicken, but I did. I think I actually wanted to paint my favorite animal, a cat, but I know I’m not good at painting cats, so it stopped me from trying.  

The first one was painted in acrylics. This one started out being painted in acrylics, but I quickly switched over to oils after the first layer. The acrylics just weren’t cutting it for this piece. It demanded a more sophisticated look, so oils it had to be. 

Speaking of oils, I’ve been having trouble holding myself back from using them lately, but it’s usually something I use during the spring and summer months only. I like to have a bit of ventilation when I’m painting in oils because they give me a headache. Now that the weather has warmed back up into the 50s, 60s, and almost 70 the other day, I just might crack a window, and have at it. I need a fix. 

Here’s a video of me painting the girl and her chicken. I’m linking to it just in case it doesn’t come through in the email for my subscribers. Speaking of subscribing, if you haven’t subscribed to my youtube channel then you’re missing out. I’ve been on a roll, and have been uploading a video every couple days. I don’t always remember or feel it’s necessary/relevant to post every video I make here. It’s best if you subscribe, so you don’t miss out.

Reading: I found this cool site called Vintage Junk Journals that I’ve been perusing. Lots of great information there if you’re thinking about starting an art journal or even if you’re been keeping an art journal for years, like me. 

Those of you with WordPress blogs who have been leaving comments..thank you! I appreciate you stopping by, and I would love to visit you in return, but this is what I’m seeing whenever I click on the link to your blog. I don’t know if your blog is actually protected or if this is some kind of WordPress bug, but I’m stuck behind this wall.

I often wonder what she’s thinking about when she stares at me so intently. I think most of the time she’s plotting to kill me in my sleep, but I could be wrong. lol

Day 182

Today I celebrate a milestone. I have reached day 182, which means I’ve been painting daily for 6 months now. Wow! I’m halfway in, halfway out. Halfway to the finish line. Only 6 more months to go before I get a day off. Um..perhaps it’s best if I don’t think of it that way. Makes me feel exhausted. lol 

I made this 6 months of daily painting video to track my progress so far.

I’ve already started planning what I’m going to do to celebrate when I do finally make it to day 365. Knowing me, I’ll probably take a long afternoon nap, and then get back to work. I’m not one to rest on my laurels.

I started to flirt with a change in my diet right before Thanksgiving. The change has been making me feel so great, and have such high energy levels, it’s making it impossible to sleep. Not complaining, just find it amusing that instead of the cats keeping me up all night, I’m now keeping them up. haha I went to bed three times the other night, and got back up three times to go paint.

This is a portrait I painted in my art journal. Can’t say she looks all that amused to be up at 3am, but hey..what can I say? I needed some company. haha

Holy moly, it’s brutally cold outside. -25F wind chill is the predicted forecast for overnight and tomorrow. Schools have already called off. I’ve lived here a long time, and have never seen it this cold before. Pretty crazy, especially since it was 60F yesterday. 

It’s a wrap

This concludes all the paintings I did in November. What a month it was, full of portrait paintings and a mini book. Wow!! No wonder I feel tired. Here I was thinking I didn’t give it enough effort because my focus was elsewhere (painting the kitchen, cooking two Thanksgiving dinners, and having company over the holiday). Wrong!! It was an incredibly productive month. I’m shocked at the outcome.

I go nap now? Ok, buh bye. Nite Night. zzzzz

I’ll see you on Saturday night with the start of my new theme for December – 5 minute painting. I’m 6 days in right now, and I’ve made a few observations, which I’m going to share with you. I’ve been blogging every day, and scheduling the posts. Not sure if I’ll do this the entire 30 days..depends if I have anything to say or not. We’ll see.
