Header block that goes at the top and clarifies what this is what how to look at it. It needs to be subtle but also overly visible and a “stop here first” type message. 

I had a few other chicken shots from 2011 and wanted to try this guy. I loved painting the high-key colors on this one. The colors look crazy if you focus on them but it works (I hope) as a whole.

Well, this is it for 2015. Another 100 in the books. I’m going to take a week off and then try to keep on painting. I feel like I’ve learned so much over the last 45 days and don’t want to lose that momentum. Happy new year!!!

I was running out of gas with the cows and saw this orange at our local grocery store. The orange color on this was so intense that I had a hard time mixing a color that was accurate.

Here is the last of the cows for the year. These were so fun to paint and I’ll be revisiting them in 2016!

Mixing it up a bit, here are two cows in a field. These guys were so much fun to paint and I’m loving the warm and cool grays when painting these cows.

I wanted to revisit No. 320 from earlier in the year and redeem that awful painting. This one is just a little bit better. I’m gonna be posting daily through the end of the year to hit 100.

Here’s the last painting I did during my workshop with James Richards. I felt a little goofy painting something like this during an event like that, but my daughter had requested a painting of “bunny” and I wanted it to be a good one. As with the others, James helped me see the colors that I did not pick-up on and made it better in so many ways.

This painting takes me back to No. 18 from way back in 2010. We’ve moved on from baby shoes, but all I can still see is her growing up way too fast. I’m glad we’ll have this one as a record of these days.
