I’m calling these my “Miz Katie” paintings because that was the name of my Etsy shop at the time, and that’s what everyone called me on social media.

6 months of painting daily – how’s it going? Any new developments?

I just slid into the 7th month of my daily painting practice, so I thought I’d write a quick update about what the first 6 months has been like. Other than experiencing exhaustion after painting 66 abstract paintings in one weekend, the painting part is going extremely well for me. Ah, man..that weekend was rough to say the least. I’m still trying to recover. Painting every day is a piece of cake compared to that. lol

I haven’t had a problem with artist block or getting myself into the studio during the past 6 months. I knew when I painted for 365 days in 2017 that keeping track of my progress was the most difficult part of the challenge for me, and that hasn’t changed. I have a HUGE backlog of photos to go through.

So, no big discoveries lately. This is all stuff I already knew..my strengths and weaknesses haven’t changed over time, which is fine because I wasn’t looking to change. My goal for painting daily this time around is to paint every day – nothing more. I’m happy with the results I’m getting – hundreds of paintings and art journal pages have been created, and that’s all that matters to me. Here’s to month 7! I’m ready, let’s go!

Large abstract wip

So over the weekend, I got my easel out from the corner of my studio for the first time since I moved here 2.5 years ago. It was still taped up so it wouldn’t slide up or down while being transported here by the movers. I can’t believe it’s been so long since I used my easel, but judging by all the dust and cat hair on it, it’s definitely been that long. ha!

I was inspired by this art journal page I painted a week ago, and I wanted to re-paint it as best as possible on the large 30×40 inch canvas that hangs above my couch.

I created this painting back in the fall, so it was time to change it up a bit. I like to change the art on my walls every few months, usually seasonally, to keep things fresh. Sometimes that means taking down the large paintings, and painting over them.

I did a quick layer as I was looking at my art journal to get the colors somewhat where they need to be. The paint was pretty thick, so I hung it back up on the wall to dry, and to get a feel for what it will look like once it’s back in its place.

I can tell the colors aren’t right yet. For one thing, it’s almost summer, and these are fall colors. And two, even though orange works well in my art journal, I don’t think it works for my living room..at least not now. The painting used to be orange, and I liked it, but I’m looking for a change. I didn’t think of that until I saw the painting up on the wall. This is an okay start, but I’m going to change the colors.
