This painting is my Day #2 piece......Monday, Labor Day.

Churches in Cuba are no longer allowed to serve religious purposes.

Many are now public government buildings, museums,

performance venues, etc. 

Trinidad is full of beautiful and charming buildings, very colorful, but many

are in disrepair. 

 

I have set aside my plan to do a painting a day in favor first of

completing a portrait I started a few weeks ago as a class assignment.....

one I had been inspired to do for some time.  This is Bill, deep-sea fishing in Hawaii.

Here is the start:

 

Yesterday I started to model the foreground shirt, and the boat behind

the figure (see below).  Today I hope to work on the face and hat, and I'll be able to show

that in my next post. 

Progress.......slow, but nevertheless, progress.

 

Lucie has decided to sleep thru this process..........

big help!

Stay tuned..........

 

 

COME FLY WITH ME!

"Plants & More, Cuba"

8x6     Oil on Canvas

I have once again signed up to participate in the

30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge......

not too bright on my part with the obligations I currently have

but, nevertheless, I'm in it.

 

I've decided this time to create works based on my travels.....most of them will

be of trips out of the USA, but occasionally I'll throw in something

out of the beautiful Southwest where I live.

 

This first piece is a plant shop in Cuba.  The buildings there are beautiful with lots

of charm, but maintenance challenged as the people

 have very little with which to repair them.  I apologize....

the color on the photo is not accurate.   Close, but no cigars (Cuban)!

 

Lucie thinks I'm putting myself up a tree by accepting this

challenge.....as usual, she's right.  We'll see how it goes!

Stay tuned...........
