Day 8 – Painting Over and Trying Again
….to post or not to post
When a piece of art doesn’t work do you own up to it and post it anyway? Since I’m on this Daily Art Challenge for March I feel like I’m being dishonest when I don’t talk about my failed pieces. I seem to be in a rut right now. Nothing I do seems to work. I’ve painted over this one piece now three times. If it doesn’t work this time I think I need to start fresh and put this piece aside.
I wanted to paint using bright and cheery colours but it just didn’t work for me. I’m better off painting intuitively. Here is where it started and how I repainted over it this morning. No guarantees that this is going to work.

Slow Mark Making on Day 7
…some days these warm-up activities are the best art I make for that day
Wishing the World Peace and Harmony
….difficult to paint when I’m seeing so many negative images on TV
I continue make art every day but on Day 6 of my March Art Challenge I needed some positive symbols of peace. For my warm-up activity I found these Chinese characters of Peace and Harmony.

Macro Monday – Diving into the Evergreens
On one of my walks this weekend I discovered that there were some interesting macro shots amidst the branches of the evergreens that I passed. I walked over patches of ice and mud to get a closer look. Here’s what I found.

As the temperatures rise, the ice on the pond is melting to reveal water below. After today’s rain and yesterday’s balmy temperatures most of this ice will have melted.
Whatsoever is Lovely – Week 9

The temperatures are rising, the snow is melting and the sun is shining. Sure signs that spring is around the corner. I know that there is still a chance of more snow to come, especially since March came in like a lamb.
