Make Art Everyday 2019 :: July Highlights

July began with a wonderful trip to Philladelphia to celebrate the 4th of July, then back to the studio, where I dug into creating paintings for my recent collection of floral paintings, “From Garden to Vase”

Day 187: July 6, 2019, a work in progress image of the painting “A World of Pink and Blue”

Day 193, July 12, 2019: BUTTERFLY, FLOWERS AND WHAT I HAVE LEARNED SO FAR watercolor, (Available)

I really LOVE this watercolor, I like that there is so much going on, that there are so many colors, and it is almost abstract in its organization.

Day 195, July 14, 2019: The completed version of the first image in this blog post. I just love painting these flowers, echinacea and nicotiana! (Available)

Day 199, July 18, 2019: Trumpet Vine in Glass Bottle, 10x10 inches, oil on linen, (Available at the Principle Gallery | Alexandria)

Day 203, July 22, 2019: Dahlias in Pewter Cup, 8 x 8 inches, (Available)

Day 204, July 23, 2019: The Charm of Foxgloves, 24 x 16 inches, oil on panel, (Available)

July was a very productive month and it was a pleasure to spend so much time in the studio. However, due to spending so many hours behind the easel painting, I did not get as many opportunities to sketch and draw.

The creative process is all about allowing the ebb and flow of artistic activities, knowing that soon something will shift in your schedule and that what was once a daily activity will return again.
