For a decade I recorded every aspect of my artistic development, almost every day. This original version of the blog records the first 4 years that I was introduced to Classical Realism. I consider these to be the most formative years of my art career.

Day 11 - Heirloom Tomatoes SOLD
9 x 12 inches, oil on panel
Today was the first day I thought I might not complete a painting. I started one, but at 4:30pm it wasn't working, so I scrapped it. Then I started this one. I had to work fast because I can only paint by daylight, but I finished by 6:30pm, while there was still a pale glow. Someone asked me today and I didn't know - when is daylight savings time?
