Paint Every Day, January 2022

Well hello! (If anyone reads this! Who knows!) My last post was April 2021, at which time I was doing an online art class. It went.. ok. I discovered I do not like to paint with acrylics on a wood panel. Perhaps I was not doing it right! Eh. It’s ok not to like it.

Here we are in the middle (toward the end?) of the Omicron portion of the global pandemic. And I am once again painting every day in January.

Although I’ve still got a few days to go, here are some horses I painted this month. I am new to painting horses. It went pretty well!

Three horses, acrylics, January 2022

And here are some portraits I painted this month. The ones on the right are definitely more successful than the ones on the left.

Four portraits, acrylics, January 2022.

And here are some landscapes I painted this month. I am new to landscape painting, and used free reference photos from unsplash.com. It went pretty well with the sunlight and atmospheric perspective and a cute little (lopsided) car:

Row 3: Acrylic portrait, dog; Acrylic self-portrait; pencil self- portrait

It’s 2020. Already February, in fact. I’ve actually had about a week trying to get my blog working, probably due to a problem with an update or something. I’m not sure what fixed it, to be honest!

The world is crazy but I am going to try to do lots of painting this year. I have started the last 3 years or so with lots of painting in January, and not much after. This time, I didn’t do any in January, but plan to do much more for the rest of the year.

How about you, got plans for 2020? Thanks for stopping by!
