The Start Of The DP'S

I have decided one of the easiest ways to get my groove back is to start at the beginning


I will be doing a Daily Painting, with a time limit of 2 hours.(health permitting.)




These quickies will not be for sale. They are strictly for me to get used to painting again; to revisit what I had learned; or to experiment further. 



My hope is these works will advance me swiftly to where I had been, or they may show holes in my memory.


 With the high fever and everything that happened in surgery and the subsequent events of the past five months, I don't know what skills are still with me. Together we will find that out.


References will come from multiple sources. Workshops I will revisit; WetCanvas events and their fab reference library; and from friends photos; and my own references. 

The image itself is not as important as just the act of painting every day. It is time to get back in the groove and just paint. :)



I will be posting the Daily Paintings here on my blog, so I can be accountable to myself, and measure my progress back...Cyd

Daily painting is always good for us!!! I hope it brings your skills back to where they were before. I'll stop in to check on you. It is fun seeing your work in the WDEs on WetCanvas.

Kay...Thank you so much. I am hoping this will be a good way back. I really appreciate your support.

Joan...It's good to be back at the WDE. The images they provide are the perfect inspiration for these little daily's. And having them not be for sale will take some stress off too I think. TY for posting.
