Red Rose II
In light of the recent tragedy in Oklahoma with the major tornado, Daily Paintworks has started a fundraiser for those who have lost their homes and whatever else. I will be donating 100% of the proceeds from this painting to the Red Cross for this cause. If you would like to participate in this fundraiser by either donating your art or bidding on some, please visit the DPW fundraiser page. Thank you in advance!

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Table Set For One"

I've had this idea for a while to make a t-shirt with something catchy on it about daily painting and/or maybe something about "Carol's kids" or whatnot, but an idea has not fully formed in my head. And honestly I've been thinking about it for a while. Which is just sad. So my friend/artist 
Sarah suggested I hold a contest and ask for ideas, and give free t-shirts out to the top 3 idea-givers. So if you have an idea for what a t-shirt might say, please email me, or comment on my blog. I will pick my favorite(s) and design one that will be available to all. My humblest thank you in advance!!

tshirt ideas?

Yesterday was a crazy day here in Portland! I've never been spotted before, but I was yesterday, and twice! It was very cool to be recognized by strangers. In fact my head has grown so much I'm not sure I'll be able to stumble out of the hotel room door this morning. Well, it would be hard except breakfast is calling. : )

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Rose with Tea"

CAROL MARINE'S PAINTING A DAY     5/16/13
"Rose with Tea" - 6x6in. -  click to bid


Lots to report! First of all, the reason I haven't posted in a while is I discovered a new weed in our front yard that turned out to be poison oak. For those of you who've been with me a while, yes, this has happened before, but I swear the Oregon version is totally different than the Texas version! So I've been dealing with that for the past couple of weeks.

During that time I taught a workshop on Vancouver Island, Canada. Unfortunately they had to look at my monster face all week, but despite that they were very nice. One gal (named Carol Jean, same as me!) even made t-shirts for the occasion (more on this soon).   

Photos from workshop on Vancouver Island

The space we were in was huge, so everyone had plenty of room to spread out. I always spend a lot of time reminding my kids to squint, and the best way to do that is to close one eye and squint the other. One gal felt it would be easier to tape half of her glasses instead. : ) Below are cropped versions of most of my demos. (I've been looking for a photo collage program for my pc and so far I'm not crazy about this one. Anyone have a good suggestion?)   

My demos from Vancouver Island workshop

Below are my Canada kids. This was a really great group. Honestly, I can't say one bad thing about them. Anyone who can put up with a rashy, itchy istructor for 5 days deserves my full respect! Aren't they cute?!

Carol Marine's Painting a Day - "Primary Egg"

"Primary Egg" - 6x6in. -  click to bid


The workshop with Marla Baggetta was awesome! I learned a ton, including how it feels to be on the other side : ) ... how frustrating it is to try something completely new and feel totally inept when you don't get it by mid-week ... etc. Obviously I also learned a lot about pastels. Just in time to head out for a workshop of my own. In Canada. Next week. I will post when I can. Meanwhile I posted a few photos from the workshop on my Facebook page.
