 Click Here to Bid - 6x6in. - "Cup Love"

Happy New Year! I just want to say thank you to everyone who has supported me this year (and every year). I hope everyone had a great 2016. Here's to many happy things in 2017!



 Click Here to Bid - 6x6in. - "Chasing the Herd"

One of my resolutions for the new year is to do a better job with the Daily Paintworks weekly challenges. I've been dialing them in for far too long. This painting (above) is for this week's challenge, The Complimentary Challenge. The idea is to use uneven amounts of two complimentary colors in a painting. It was fun - join me!

This is our cold, rainy season, so I have been inspired to stay inside and paint still life. I get especially excited by these juicy colors bouncing around on each other. They keep it feeling cozy inside.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   12/28/16
   

 
 Click Here to Bid - 6x6in. - "Collecting Heat"

This is the last of my pepper series, for now. I was reminded today, as I was painting, the importance of keeping my paint piles full. I found that if I was running low on a certain color on my palette, I would start thinning out my paint, or trying to mix with other colors, instead of simply squeezing out some more! How crazy is that?! And I don't think it's just me. So squeeze out big piles to start with! And me, do what I say!

Recently I spent a lovely day in my friend Patti's remodeled studio, painting with her and a couple other art gals. We ransacked Patti's house (and the snacks she put out for us) for props and each created our own still life. This was my first one.

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY   12/25/16
   

 
 Click Here to Bid - 6x6in. - "A Snack with Water"

Happy Holidays! I hope you all had some yummy food. Here's a little plate I put together and painted. I was inspired by the food I give my son. He's picky so I mostly give him plates that look similar to this. Nothing touching. Lots of pretty colors.

This is also the example painting for the current  Daily Paintworks ChallengeThe Plated Food Challenge. If you have some time this week, try it and post it for others to see. It's fun!



 Click Here to Bid - 6x6in. - "Survey the Damage"



Click Here to Bid - 6x6in. - "In Hot Pursuit"

I'm really proud of the title for this one. I usually don't come up with the title until after I've finished the painting, but I can tell when I've landed on a composition that is going to lend itself to something good. Get it? Hot pursuit? : )

Click Here to Bid - 6x6in. - "All Cracked Up"

After the ice storm, our internet went off and on for days, which was terrible!. How did we come to be so dependent on this elusive thing?! : ) The ice that covered our town has finally melted, and so the clean up of downed branches, trees and power lines has begun in earnest.

I've gotten lots of book orders - thank you!! I hired my stepdaughter to fill the orders, and you are keeping her busy. We still have plenty in my book store if you're interested.



Click Here to Bid - 6x6in. - "Hot Friends"

I haven't painted peppers in a good long while. These little guys above called out to me in the store and I've been painting them all day. They never pile up neatly though. I always have to arrange and re-arrange them about 50 times. I guess I'm not shooting for "neat" actually. More just like ... pretty? Perhaps I should have told them that. "Pose for me, guys!"
