“Gathering” 20×20 oil on canvas $250.00 [creativ_button url=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/gathering/373372″ icon=”shopping-cart” label=”Buy Now” colour=”blue” colour_custom=”” size=”medium” edge=”straight” target=”_self”] As long as I kept getting fresh flowers delivered to my door, I’m going to keep painting them. Never mind the part about the virgins, I think Herrick’s famous poem could have been about painters. If I didn’t paint them […]
Day 36. Throwback Oyster Painting
“Dinner” 12×12, oil on canvas $150 [creativ_button url=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/dinner/373237″ icon=”shopping-cart” label=”Buy Now” colour=”blue” colour_custom=”” size=”medium” edge=”straight” target=”_self”] I’ve only done two other oyster paintings. They’re tough. So when I got a request to paint them again, I was a wee bit hesitant. I’m glad I went for it though as I found this particular oyster painting […]
Day 35. When We Used to Just Play
“Picnic Prep” 20×20, oil on canvas This is another commissioned piece, one I put off and put off doing, then finally started. As I was painting, I wondered why I’d put it off. It was fun. I might still add a few strokes here or there. I think I captured more movement in the girl on […]
Day 34. The Best Thing About Daily Painting
Untitled, 12×12, oil on canvas. The best thing about daily painting is no matter how you feel one day, the next is full of possibility. This is a scene from my neighborhood where the golf course backs up to the river. Can you see the little golf course flag? I did it weeks ago […]
Day 33. There Will Be Time…
“…There will be time, there will be time To prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet; There will be time to murder and create, And time for all the works and days of hands That lift and drop a question on your plate; Time for you and time for me, And time […]
Day 32. Off in the Distance
“Ocean View” 10×10, oil on canvas. Day 32’s painting is a commissioned piece. I’ve been struggling lately but this one gave me a little bit of peace. I’m leaving on a two day work trip today so I frantically tried to get day 33 and 34 finished without much success. Today’s image reminds me that […]
Day 31. Humans of Louisiana
“I Love it Here” 12×12, oil on canvas, $150.00 [creativ_button url=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/i-love-it-here/372116″ icon=”” label=”Buy Now” colour=”red” colour_custom=”#2e7bd3″ size=”medium” edge=”rounded” target=”_self”] I met this lovely human on Magazine St at Araña which just so happens to have an incredible spicy watermelon margarita. I’m amazed at how New Orleans gets to people. “About fifteen years ago, I lived in […]
Day 30. If it Were Last Year, I’d Be Done…
“Lakeside Stroll” 10×10, oil on 1.5in canvas $125 [creativ_button url=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/lakeside-stroll/371879″ icon=”” label=”Buy Now” colour=”red” colour_custom=”#2e7bd3″ size=”medium” edge=”rounded” target=”_self”] I decided to give “Mandeville lady with bike” another attempt on a slightly larger surface– a canvas this time instead of a gessoboard. I didn’t use the exact same photo as a reference. In the photo I […]
Day 29. Do Over
“Where Ya Headed?” 22×30, oil on canvas, $325 Click to Purchase SOLD My art supply order finally arrived today! But it wasn’t until after I’d been painting for a while. Given the low supplies, I dug through a stack in the corner and pulled out this old painting from about four years ago. Four years […]
