I used the same green cloth as the one in the previous apple painting because I loved its silky texture and the fringe edge. So fun to paint!

My new favorite subject — lollipops!

When I began this blog, my personal goal was to keep it updated with new paintings strictly on a daily basis for at least one year. Well, I’m guilty of not being able to keep that goal, most especially during the past two and a half weeks.

On a positive note though, I sold some of the small paintings and spent those two and a half weeks packing and mailing them as well as finishing a commission. To those who have bought my paintings or commissioned me, thank you so much for your support!

There are only a few more days left before I officially close my 70 Paintings for $70 Each Anniversary Special. It’s only until the 15th of August. After which, prices will go back to the original $100 or $80. Shipping is free anywhere in the world for all paintings. Click on the image below to see the 70 paintings included in the sale:

Since today is Independence Day in America, I wish to greet all Americans a Happy Fourth of July!

Today is also a very special day for me because, like the title says, this is also my blog’s first anniversary! I should have posted the 365th daily painting around this time, but since I wasn’t able to keep my schedule, it will come a little (or a lot!) later than I expected. We’ll see though. I may have some more to say come the day I post that 365th painting, but for now, I just want to say THANK YOU! once again to all of you who visit my blog, those who enjoy my paintings, those who take time to send me their comments — you are all very special to me! Thank you!

Something not related to the daily paintings. Earlier this month, my brother David and I each entered 3 of our artwork to the A Singular Creation Portraits 2 Contest. I am thrilled that the oil portrait I did for Different Strokes from Different Folks was chosen as one of the 12 finalists. There were about 271 entries and there were many great paintings and drawings, so I am really honored that the judges chose my painting and one of David’s pencil portraits (both shown below).

Public voting is now open. If you wish to vote, the link is: A Singular Creation Portraits 2 Finalists

I had a very difficult time trying to get this image to match the original colors. Some colors are still slightly inaccurate, but I hope you like the painting anyway. I had a lot of fun trying to make the orange look translucent.

I can’t believe it’s the 300th painting already, and there are only 65 more before I complete one year of daily paintings!

My goal is to finish one year and after which, if God is willing, I’d like to start on a new project — something which I have been planning on since late last year. Hope you will stay tuned for that.

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.

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!

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.

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.

Daily Painting #252 – Milk and Cookies
(Click image for larger version)

Oil painting on gessoed matboard
Approximately 5.75 x 5.5 inches — 14.5 x 14 cm

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.

I tried out a smoother painting board for “Three Tomatoes” which I made by sanding the last layer of gesso. I’m not sure if I like painting on this any better than on the unsanded board. I will have to try it out some more before I conclude anything, but the paint did feel so much more fluid on it.

I’m very pleased with this painting. I was able to finish it easily — every brush stroke seemed to fall in its proper place the first time around. I love that. I think the time I spent to analyze the subject and the colors helped greatly.

I had a late start on this painting and I spent over an hour thinking of what to paint. We had some mangoes around but I couldn’t find a composition for them. So I asked my brother David for help and he set this black mug against the mango.

I am posting two paintings today and both feature this black mug.

By the way, the painting fell face down as I was waiting for it to dry so I had to do a second layer to fix the damaged areas.
