Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "For the Love of Blue" & DPW Fundraiser

"For the Love of Blue" - 6x6 in -  click to bid    &    DPW Fundraiser

                    
After seeing all the destruction on the news today from hurricane Sandy, Daily Paintworks is hosting a fundraiser to help those in need on the East Coast. I have already donated 2 paintings. You may recognize them, as I posted them before (there is a long story for each about why I still have them - I won't bore you with the details). So please consider donating a painting or buying one - either will help someone whose cars got smashed under a tree, house was blown away or flooded, or other general mayhem from wind, water and even fire. And please spread the word! Thanks!

Tomorrow morning my husband and I are off to Texas to visit family for a few days. Above is my second color collection - blue.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "For the Love of Green" & new ArtByte!

Marketing Ideas for Selling Art Online ArtByte In addition to the demo video(s) I have also been working on a marketing ArtByte. This is often the most popular part of my workshops, so I thought it made sense to finally put it online. It costs $10 and you can find it in the Daily Paintworks ArtByte Store. It is called "Marketing Ideas for Selling Art Online".

Also, I have been working on a series of paintings, each focusing on one color. I did this before years ago with my old collection of still life stuff -- I thought I'd try it again now, and green is my favorite color.

Last week I set up to film a demo. Things went wrong. Words were said. I won't say who's the blame - he wouldn't like it. We managed to salvage the video of the painting part (but not the palette) so we sped it way up and put it in a free ArtByte! I filmed another one with a slightly different composition that will posted later in a not-free ArtByte, much slower, with voiceover and a palette shot and all that good stuff.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Whites"

"Whites" - 6x6 in -  click to bid
  
              
I was looking back at my earliest daily paintings recently and noticed that I used to have much simpler compositions - often just one or two objects. Well, here are three, and all white. I think often the simpler compositions are harder to paint!

I woke up this morning to another email problem - I swear, I seem plagued with them. My darling husband fixed the problem, but apparently some emails were lost forever in the ether. So if you emailed me yesterday or this morning and I didn't respond, please resend. And again I apologize for the trouble.

So, the good news is that we had tons of responses to our survey about the convention - thank you all so much! But it sounds like there are some major concerns about the cost of travel, especially from the east coast, in addition to the cost of hotels and possibly some scheduling conflicts. So we are going to table our concept for the time being, and return to the drawing board. We are thinking maybe spring 2014 is a better time, and a more central location as well. More about that later ...

This is another one of the polka-dot patterns I made myself. The blue dots do funny things in the shadows, depending on the ambient light.
