Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "One Drop Rose"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY     7/7/13
"One Drop Rose" - 6x6in. -  click to bid


Drop, close-up I was worried I might ruin this painting with fussy-ness (my word) if I included the little drop of water. But it turned out to be simpler than I imagined. Here it is again, close-up. -->
I'm almost embarrassed to show you how simple it is. But it looks like a drop, hey?

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Yellow Rose"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY     7/6/13
"Yellow Rose" - 6x6in. -  click to bid


My favorite part of the photo for this painting was ... that tiny little curly thing at the bottom (left). So of course I had to include it.

On another note, summer has gotten off to a busy start, and I don't expect it to slow down anytime soon. Between visitors and trips, I've barely had a moment to think. I certainly won't be posting every day, but I'll post (and paint) as often as I can!

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Table with a View"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY     7/5/13
"Table with a View" - 6x6in. -  click to bid


What this view actually consisted of was Alcatraz up on that distant hill/island. I decided to simplify it. These guys deserve a break.

Hope everyone had a lovely Fourth!

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Light in the City"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY     7/3/13
"Light in the City" - 6x6in. -  click to bid


These little scenes from the city (this one's San Fran again) are WAY harder than still life for me. They take longer and my ratio of paintings that work out to those that don't are lower. I seem to be really terrible at guessing ahead of time which photos are going to make good paintings and which aren't. That said, I like this one. I like the stripey building at the end.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Sun in Patches"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY     7/2/13
"Sun in Patches" - 6x6in. -  click to bid

Sun in Patches
This is from a scene at a San Francisco farmers market. I really liked the small pops of color surrounded by all the gray. And speaking of pops of color, tonight my stepdaughter and I picked up our first batch of fused glass for jewelry (below). We learned a lot from this batch and already put in a whole 'nother one. So fun!

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Man with Plants"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY     7/1/13
"Man with Plants" - 6x6in. -  click to bid


The photo for this one came from our local Saturday market, and while I loved the guy with his plants, the background was impossibly complicated. I decided to really sketch it in with some darks, but when I was done it looked a little too simple. I added a few colors to break it up. Did it work?
