“Puzzled”, 6×6, oil on gessoboard, $75 [button link=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/puzzled/232287″ type=”big”] Buy Now[/button] Started this one yesterday after trying (unsuccessfully) to finish a commissioned piece. This is my “taking a break” painting, and I gave myself rules for it. This is what my inner voice sounds like: Ok, so, I’ll let you paint ANOTHER kingfisher IF […]

Still painting birds for so many reasons, but this morning I saw a bluejay atop a fire hydrant; he was still and watching. […]
“Quiet Waiting” 6×6, oil on gessoboard, $75 [button link=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/quiet-waiting/230988″ type=”big”] Buy Now[/button] When I don’t know what to paint, I paint the bird that made me a bird watcher. Usually I like them in flight, on the verge of something, in pursuit or escape. But every once in a while, I like the quiet, still […]
“Looking Up” 6×6, oil on gessoboard, $75 [button link=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/looking-up/230840″ type=”big”] Buy Now[/button] It’s Mothers Day so I thought about painting something “momish”, but I never could quite think of what it should be.

“Crabby” 6×6, oil on gessoboard, $75 [button link=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/crabby/230580″ type=”big”] Buy Now[/button] My 24×36 commissioned crab painting is almost finished. It has been quite some time since I’ve painted that large. It felt both free and frustrating. Trying to find the rhythm in my brush strokes. On the small 6×6 panel, each stroke shows, matters. On the […]

Daily painting has given me something to prioritize when countless demands are being made on […]
“Pondering” 6×6, oil on gessoboard, $75 [button link=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/pondering/230225″ type=”big”] Buy Now[/button] I didn’t get to paint yesterday, and it made me sad. Well, I did get to paint. At my job– the kind where you teach women how to paint sunsets or wine bottles while they empty their own. One of the customers asked me what […]

Revisited it. More texture, text. Still a little surprised that I’ve turned into a bird watcher. My great grandmother had a clock with a different bird on each of the hours. The clock would make that bird’s call […]

Saturday was full to the brim. I didn’t even pick up a brush. Sunday was less busy, and I did paint but couldn’t quite get it where I wanted it to be. On Monday mornings the gym is more crowded […]
