Week 1 (Almost)

With nearly one week complete of daily painting, I wanted to get some pictures up! I'm still working out a few kinks in getting the images to look just right. I haven't been able to get steady pictures outside yet, so I have been using my scanner. This washes out some of the light tones and removes some of the texture, but gets most of the job done.

I'm denoting between AM/PM on the paintings to give an idea of the time spent daily on painting. In the morning I have sixty to ninety minutes to set aside for painting before getting ready for the day, but in the evening I am able to set aside 3 - 5 hours per painting.
