Here’s something not related to the daily paintings. Yesterday, I wrote a short post on my other blog, Art Studio, about a commissioned artwork I completed middle of last year.

It’s a pencil drawing of a pair of eyes. If you are curious why the left eye is a black eye, read my post here: All the Abused.

The third daily painting I ever did was of dominoes. I hated how it turned out so I thought I’d try the subject one more time.

This is my first time to paint strawberries. They are quite expensive and not very common in our area. These little strawberries were perfect models and they smelled so sweet!

By the way, red seems to be this week’s theme. Hope you enjoy the new paintings and thank you all so much for your comments! They are all greatly appreciated!

This is another one of those daily paintings where I accidentally used too much medium (linseed oil) that it was difficult to get good edges. So I painted a second layer and I think it looks better now.

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!

This painting is on gessoed 1/8″ hardboard. It’s my first time to try this support, but I will be using it for most of the future daily paintings.

By the way, here is the bird painting that I was talking about a few days ago. It is an illustrative type of painting which I like very much. I hope you do too.

And here is the direct link to the post on my Art Studio blog: Robin Painting.

Here is a cheese sandwich painting. I am pleased with how the bread turned out. This is the second time I’ve painted bread. The first one was this peanut butter sandwich.

I am lagging way behind with the daily paintings here. I have been able to complete a painting a day, but I just wasn’t able to post them consistently everyday. I will make up in future posts.

The leftover green paint that I mixed for the bluebird painting was used for the background here (mixed with a little bit more blue and red to darken). I don’t know why, but there is something about this shade of green that I really like. It looks so much more contemporary than the earthy colors I usually use, but I love it. I hope you like it too!

I absolutely love this one! There’s something about this color scheme that I find very pleasing. I liked it so much that I decided to make the next painting a companion to this.

By the way, I will be making most of the future daily paintings in the standard sizes of 6″x6″, 5″x7″, etc.

The leftover gray and violet mixtures I had from the previous painting were mixed together and used for the background here. I really like the dull violet color it produced.

I was very happy to find this little tangerine from the grocery. I love it when the leaves are still attached. I think they add a lot of character.

A while back, I painted these Dendrobium orchid buds. Here’s a painting of one of those buds fully opened.

Phthalo blue is a very powerful color and I have to constantly remind myself to use only a small amount. Too much usually results in a pile of mud-looking mixture.

I often forget, however. I don’t think I’ve ever used it on a background and didn’t end up scraping it off and trying again. This usually means that after the painting is done, I’ll end up with a pile of “mud mix” from the background attempts which didn’t turn out right. Check out the next painting to see how I used that “mud mix”.

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”.

Making the background smooth was a challenge, but I really love how this turned out. I like how the plum is so low in the painting.

I am saving this painting for a second layer. I accidentally applied too much linseed oil on the board before I started painting so the paint became so liquid, it was very difficult to make some areas smooth and even.
