Day 57. Just Keep Painting
“Clawing” 6×6, oil on canvas, $75 [creativ_button url=”http://www.dailypaintworks.com/fineart/denise-hopkins/clawing/387728″ icon=”” label=”Buy Now” colour=”blue” colour_custom=”” size=”medium” edge=”straight” target=”_self”]
When I asked what other paintings should go in my little seafood series, the consensus seemed to be a crab. But a crab is so much bigger than a crawfish, oyster, and shrimp that I thought I’d try something new and paint just part of the crab.
I have mixed feelings. Here’s the whole series, side by side.
There have been days, particularly recently, when I’ve felt like throwing in the towel. A 100 day challenge means you have to paint even when you don’t feel like it, even when you feel uninspired. But sticking with it has paid off, and I’ve
been a little overwhelmed by all the good things happening lately– the sold paintings, the booked live paintings at weddings, the e-mails from strangers and former students, and, as always, the wonderfully supportive feedback I receive every day. Again and always, thank you.
