When I want to experiment with any technique, I turn to my trusted subject. Lately I’ve been most interested in edges. I […]

Day 19. And Now I Do Weddings…

“Celebration” oil on canvas, 24×24. Last night was a blast. The bride was GORGEOUS. The crowd was dancing. The music was great. It was everything a wedding should be– the perfect balance between sentiment and party.   I arrived over an hour early (first time jitters, wanted to make sure everything was perfect) then proceeded to […]

Day 18. Dance Practice

“First Dance”, 11×14, oil on canvas I’m doing my first ever live event painting at a wedding tonight so I thought I get in a little practice with a loose painting sketch of my sister and her husband at their own wedding last June. Aren’t they cute? I used the palette knife. For weeks I’ve been going […]

Day 17. A Walk in the Park

  “Walking in New Orleans” 6×6, oil on canvas My title is misleading. Painting lately has been anything but a walk in the park, but I’ve received so much support, I can easily and gladly overlook my blood, sweat, and tears. I am completely overwhelmed, surprised, and humbled by all the comments of support and praise […]

Day 16. Way “Outside” My Comfort Zone

  Untitled, 10×10, oil on canvas $125.00 SOLD Well, I did it. I packed all my gear not-so-gracefully into the back of my CRV, and drove down to the spot I was telling you about on day 8. I’m not sure how to describe the experience except that it was hard. I’m used to painting […]

Day 15. Know What it Means to Miss New Orleans?

This is already my third pelican. I still have 85 more paintings to go…does the world itself contain enough […]

Day 14. On Parenting Boys

“Contemplating” 6x6in, oil on canvas   I’m still loving all the photos sent in to me. It’s only day 14 out of 100. If I haven’t gotten to yours yet, it certainly doesn’t mean that I won’t. Today’s painting comes from a photograph sent by my friend Denise. It’s of her son when he was […]

Day 13. I’m Almost No Longer an Embarrassment to my Entire State

“Progress” 6×6, oil on canvas, 75.00 [button link=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/progress/367733″ type=”big”] Buy Now[/button] Meet the artist: born and raised in South Louisiana, aversion to crustaceans. I think I admitted this particular character flaw a year ago when I attempted my first 30 in 30 challenge. But I started painting seafood because it’s always around me, and the strangest […]

Day 12. With a Little Practice…

“Blue Eyes” 10×10, oil on canvas, $75.00 [button link=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/blue-eyes/367443″ type=”big”] Buy Now[/button] I loved the palette knife portrait process so much that I decided to do it again, and the good news is I think I’m getting better at it. This was another photo sent to me via my Facebook request. I was struck by this […]
