Painting #318 - I'm still trying to perfect the form of my trees and make my paintings glow.
Tammy Watt - Daily Paintings
What better way to increase your painting skills than to paint daily! On July 11th I decided to paint 30 paintings in 30 days and I successfully completed the journey on August 9, 2010. I am an art educator and thus, chose to post "the good, the bad and the ugly" to provide insight into the learning process. This blog is a record of paintings that began on July 11, 2010.

Painting #306 - I really like the bottom left hand corner of this painting. Another tree found on my daily walk.
Finding My Calm

Shak'in Off Winter

Painting #303 - I love the top right corner of this painting along with the blues, greens and yellows.
