Day 71. Still Standing

“Still Standing” 6×6, oil on canvas $75 [creativ_button url=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/still-standing/391020″ icon=”” label=”Buy Now” colour=”blue” colour_custom=”” size=”medium” edge=”straight” target=”_self”]

I’ve not had my best painting days lately which is why I’m so grateful for this guy who nearly painted himself. I’m looking forward to my challenge being over for one main reason: there have been several paintings I should have let sit for a day or two but couldn’t because I wanted to post one every day. There are some that don’t need to sit– this one. I live for paintings like this.

My plan for July when this 100 days is over is to revisit a few that need revisiting. The new challenge is to try to make what is so-so special.

Until then, I’m still standing.
