While looking about the apartment for something to paint, I saw the latest postcard I received from artist Dan Caven, which you can see over at Art League Now. The original is a collage of found objects, but it made for such a great composition, and one that wouldn't have popped in my head, so I chose this as my subject.
Certainly abstract, but actually painted from a tiny section of a photo.
Just another abstract study for a larger work that I probably won't ever get around to doing.
I came across a great painting by Darren Thompson in some art magazine, and clipped it out. It wound up near my easel and surprise surprise I wound up copying a detail of it. Oh, it's a poor copy to be sure, but it was fun to do.
The Daily Paintworks gang have instituted a new challenge blog, and just in time (though I missed the first two).
Take a look at all the other great entries and try not to laugh at mine too much. I'm just getting my bearings again after a long break.
