Warm colors and compositional movement came easy for this piece. I did not need to keep reworking it for balance, so I am pretty happy with it.

Thirty Paintings in 30 Days
Day 3
Too much color, then too much black, then too much texture and when all failed, I added silver leaf and it seemed to save it to the point I felt I could say "done" and move on.

Thirty Paintings in 30 Days
Day Two
I played with applying paint, collage papers, colored pencil and metallic leaf and then pulling some of it off to relayer. Pulling the colors back into a harmonious combination without sacrificing the "life" in the painting was the most difficult part of today's exercise. Good thing I have 28 more to practice on :-)

Happy New Year!
To kick off the year I have chosen to once again participate in the 30 day panting challenge hosted by Leslie Byrd Saeta. The skill I have chosen to explore is abstract painting so that I may work on color theory, composition and building a series. My first attempt was humbling, but learning something new always is, so I will continue to be humbled and by the end of the month I hope you will have enjoyed my attempt to grow.
Wishing you peace and good health in the new year.
Most sincerely,
Christine

Kinney Bungalow at Sunset Farms
This summer I was commissioned to paint a portrait of a wedding location to be given as a wedding gift. These types of projects are a bit nerve-wracking since I must please three people, the client, the recipient and their new spouse. Happy to say, the gift was well received and I had a great time painting this RI landmark.

Vintage Plank Wall Installation
It was a summer project that challenged both Joe and myself, from salvaging the vintage planks in a junkyard in Woonsocket, RI, to designing a 3 panel interlocking wall hanging, with pieces of all different lengths and widths. Then there was the refinishing, glazing and preserving of the aged wood, with the fun part of making each one look like a part of an old salvaged sign. All of the logos and words were hand painted by me, then distressed to match the vintage feel. The initials of each child in the family were added as dimensional elements and even the clients had their initials carved into a plank. The final part was learning to do wood burning...because I always wanted to try it. The anchor and compass rose were both burned in designs, leaving my hand pretty cramped for a few days. I don't think I will be revisiting that craft any time soon:-)

A commission such as this is a very collaborative one with the client. It becomes full of family symbols & memories, things that are valued and things that are passed on to a new generation. We were quite blessed to be entrusted with such an assignment and I hope to be given the opportunity to create a similar piece in the future.

Thank you for your interest! I wish you much joy in these last few days of summer.
