Hello! I didn't realize how busy this month was going to be until after starting this challenge of doing a painting every single day for the month of August. :) I am doing a group art show in September called 88 Strong at the
Goodfoot . September- I said the S-word! It's a sign summer is coming close to being over. :( I am going to be doing 8 pieces for the show and I am going to pick scenes form Portland. There are small pieces so they fit perfectly in the month long paint-a-thon of a painting a day.
This is a painting of the Portland Rose Garden and I wanted to do something with realism and classic landscape techniques but with the abstract shapes. I really wanted clean bursts of color but more square bursts of color like a digital burst of color. I sound so artsy! lol :)
My hubs as you know is a big computer geek and he makes i-phone applications. I do all the accounting work for the computer starts up which gives me the time I need to paint. Well my husband i-phone game
Ramps right now FREE on the app store- it's to celebrate their 1 year anniversary. :) If you download it let me know what you think. Happy Thursday!

I love your paintings:) the more I see pictures and paintings of oregon, the more I want to go visit there someday!
Wonderful painting!! Love the colours!! Hope you have a great weekend x
Nice work. Don't know if you aimed for that but I personally like the interaction between the background and the foreground. The background is definitely the star here.
Thank you for your lovely comment!
I love your blog!

I love this painting - the colors are perfect! I am eying your typewriter too - it's exactly what I want :)
A painting a day is a great idea. I need to set a similar goal for myself! I just finished summer school and now I feel so wiped out, but I want to use the rest of my summer to produce a lot of art. Just need to work up the motivation! Thanks for being an inspiration. :)
So pretty!
