SOLD

Here’s another brown egg painting. It has a similar “monochrome” color scheme as the last one. I had a very difficult time trying to get the colors on the screen to match the original. The shadow part of the egg is a little more magenta in reality. You will see more of these brown eggs in the future as I really enjoy painting them. I have a whole dozen tray of them bought specially for painting!

Also, I am pleased to announce that I am now a featured artist on Daily Paintworks! I was invited by David Marine (founder of the site and husband of fab daily painter Carol Marine) a couple of days ago and I’m really thrilled and honored to be part of this group! If you haven’t seen it yet, DailyPaintworks.com also has auctions that are exclusively for original art. Check it out — as far as I know, it’s the first of its kind!

The daily painting updates have been quite few and very inconsistent, especially the past several weeks. My father suddenly became ill (with labyrinthitis and vertigo) around the
middle of May and was bedridden the whole day, everyday during the first few weeks. I still managed to continue painting and finishing one daily painting each day, but I had very limited time for it, in addition to the blog posting and other work.

Although my father is steadily improving each week and I am slowly regaining more time for my work, I still haven’t been able to focus very much. So if you have been wondering why the decreasing updates, this is the reason.

I truly apologize to all those who sent me e-mail and other messages whom I still have not been able to respond to yet. The daily painting project by itself has required a lot of time (painting and posting), so with all the things going on lately, everything that needed to be done just piled up. Please know that I am not ignoring anyone and that I will still respond to your e-mail and messages, especially those who asked questions. It may still take time for me to get back on track, but I am working on it. I hope you understand.

After these quail eggs were finished posing for the two paintings, I decided to fry instead of boil them, which is how they are usually cooked here in my country. They make the cutest sunny side up eggs!

Oil painting on gessoed matboard

Mel requested this painting of her favorite subjects that I have done before. I had to wait for the black plums to become available again, but it was worth the wait because I really enjoyed painting this. It’s currently my most favorite of all the “dailies”.

Finally completed the first month of daily paintings — 31 oil paintings in 31 days!!

Thanks so much to everyone who commented and gave inspiration! I’d especially like to thank my Mom and brother, David, for giving me ideas and subjects to paint, for washing my brushes at 1 in the morning, and, most of all, for encouraging me to start this project to begin with.

Overall, it has been a very rewarding project and I’m looking forward to painting and blogging next month’s daily paintings!
