When I started, I wasn’t allowed to take painting until I’d fulfilled some drawing and design requirements. I could hardly wait. I wanted to paint. And then it happened, and […]

Day 45. My Inner Critic

“Flighty” 12×12, oil on 1.5in canvas $150 [creativ_button url=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/flighty/385187″ icon=”shopping-cart” label=”Buy Now” colour=”blue” colour_custom=”” size=”medium” edge=”straight” target=”_self”] Last night and all day today I’ve been particularly pessimistic, which is funny considering my “I love my life” post from yesterday. Maybe I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed (which is what I told Ezra, […]

Day 44. Is it Summer?

“Summer” 5×7, oil on gessobaord For a while, I’ve been telling Ezra that we can’t go to the pool because it’s not summer yet. Almost. So when we made our first pool trip last week he said, “Is it summer now?” When I started my 100 in 100 in April, I knew theoretically the challenge […]

Day 43/100. It Never Gets Old.

“Onward” 20×20, oil on 1.5in canvas, $250.00 [creativ_button url=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/onward/374727″ icon=”shopping-cart” label=”Buy Now” colour=”blue” colour_custom=”” size=”medium” edge=”straight” target=”_self”] Still loving on my birds because they allow me to play around with texture and color.  It’s almost like the bird is my excuse– when the form takes shape, I can then mess around with what surrounds it. Lately, I’ve wanted […]

Day 42. Well, That’s New

“Flawed” 24×36, oil on (torn) canvas $375.00 [creativ_button url=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/flawed/374474″ icon=”shopping-cart” label=”Buy Now” colour=”blue” colour_custom=”” size=”medium” edge=”straight” target=”_self”] I love painting on brand spankin’ new canvases. There’s something clean and fresh about it. But sometimes I get the urge to paint over an old painting knowing the textures underneath bring challenges and difficulties but also possibility. Some […]

Day 41/100. Another (little) Human of Louisiana

This was the painting I’d planned for last Friday, but it took a little longer than I expected. It’s a 16×20, oil on canvas. I used only a palette knife. Here’s a little interview with the adorable subject: Bravest thing he’s done: “Ride Seven Dwarves Mine Train. It was pretty cool when they were singing […]

Day 40. Mothers’ Day

  18×24, acrylic on paper   When I first decided I wanted to day a mothers’ dayish painting, my first thought was of all the lofty things I’d write about. About my own mom and grandmother. My sister and her newborn. My sister-in-law’s ever-growing belly. My friends who can’t conceive or couldn’t, then did. Those […]

Day 39. Tear Jerker.

“Long Walk” 10×10, oil on 1.5in canvas. This is another commissioned piece. The man in the middle is Lance. He was diagnosed with advanced prostate cancer in the fall of 2013. He is currently receiving treatment at M.D. Anderson in Houston. He’s been through two surgeries and one clinical trial. He’s a fighter. The photograph […]

Day 38. Oh, Sure.

It’s the “Oh, sure’s” that are haunting me. Back when I envisioned a 100 day painting challenge, it was nothing but “oh, sure, you […]
