Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Drifting Through Time"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY     8/6/13
"Drifting Through Time" - 6x6in. -  click to bid

  
I photographed this painting a little too late in the day and the resulting color, as much as I fiddled with it, isn't quite right. I'll redo it tomorrow.

It was incredibly difficult to draw this composition onto my panel from what I saw through my viewfinder. Among the difficulties were the leaning bottles. See how the tops of the bottles all lean out a little? That happens when you have a birds-eye vantage point like this one. Imagine the center of the earth as the vanishing point. All the bottle bottoms point there. The opposite happens when you're in a city and looking up at tall buildings.

Real quick (because it's late and I'm headin' to bed) ... this is a corner in San Francisco that had awesome light when I photographed it, and I added aprons and a cap to my Cafe Press store. : )

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Walk the Doggie" & TSHIRTS!

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY     8/4/13
"Walk the Doggie" - 6x6in. -  click to bid

  
This is from an image I took in San Francisco. I loved the slightly pidgeon-toed walk and the cute, red doggie vest.   

My tshirts from Cafe Press

Cafe Press came through for me! Pictured above are my son and I modeling the two designs I received yesterday (both adult sizes). The first is "carol's kids kan paint! (but we kan't spell)" & the 2nd is easier to see, "eat. sleep. paint." The first is actually my idea, and the second is from Wendy Grimes - thanks, Wendy!!

I put my designs on a few tshirts (and other things), but if you find one they offer that isn't in my store, it can be easily added, just let me know. MY CAFE PRESS STORE.

FYI - The prices are all cost - I'm not making a profit from this.

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

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY     8/3/13
"Complimentary Rose" - 6x6in. -  click to bid

  
At first I thought maybe the photos of roses in subdued light were better, but now that I've painted both I think they each have their own, particular merits. This one was in shade, so the lighting is subtle. I love the soft edges and slowly shifting colors.

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "In Your Face Rose"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY     8/2/13
"In Your Face Rose" - 6x6in. -  click to bid

  
A lot of the roses I've painted so far are fairly flat, but I loved this one for it's three-dimensionality. Woah - my spelling corrector didn't like that word (or "woah")! And is it "corrector" ... or "correcter"? Google seems to accept both of them. What is this world coming to that we rely on programs to the point we don't know how to spell anymore!

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Bad Day at the Office"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY     8/1/13
"Bad Day at the Office" - 6x6in. -  click to bid

 
This one was a total experiment. I was feeling sorry for myself because I had a bad day (before I ever started painting) and so I decided to just do whatever I felt like, screw the outcome. I really liked this rose because it was back-lit and had that cool orange glow-y thing going on, but I couldn't decide on a composition. I landed on a kind of weird crop with a "white" rose to the left. I felt like the little bits of purple in the "white" added a kind a of balance to the yellow...
