Reflections are so much fun to paint. And light values against dark so...effective. So this scene was my choice for day 30 of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge. It was a fun project and the month went by very quickly.
I was in Ocean City, Md this past summer and took a jet boat ride along the shore. This is the amusement park along the boardwalk. I've used this theme of rides and fairs before but not from this viewpoint.
This is a soft, calm winter day. The scene is my yard and the hay bales were left over after a late autumn grass planting effort. I painted this on board, in acrylics and its my day 6 entry in the Painting a Day challenge.
On this fourth day of the January painting a day challenge I chose to do a portrait of Casey.
Casey is 13 years old and a Bichon, Cocker Spaniel mix and clearly the best dog ever. Here she is relaxing in her bed with her red heart shaped pillow.

All through the month of January I am participating in a painter's challenge - to paint a new painting every day of the month. These will be based on my series of 'photo a Day' which are a daily addition on Facebook. This painting is based on a photo I took in the Fall at Barlow Community Center park.
The painting is $75.00
