I decided to paint 30 paintings of Huntington the month of October. Here’s #19…one of the most popular on FB Why did I commit to a grueling painting marathon… (with laundry, cleaning, grocery shopping, dog walking, etc… to add to the equation) ? To become a better artist. You know… the old “Practice, Practice, Practice”, whenContinue reading “If you’re new to my blog…”

#30!!!! in my 30/32 Challenge
∗ Beverly Hills United Methodist Church ∗ My grandparents were founding members of this church. My dad was raised in this church. And so was I. Peri asked me to include it in the 30/30; she was in my Sunday school class, and a very sweet, dear friend. This one’s for you, Peri. Thanks forContinue reading “#30!!!! in my 30/32 Challenge”

∗ Marshall Hall of Fame Café Restaurant ∗ Just another Huntington spot that I think is divine. I love the outdoor space; it’s lovely. And the interior of the restaurant is fabulous, too. The menu…yum… I had salmon and veggies this summer~ perfect. And it’s right across from Pullman Square. What more could you askContinue reading “#29 30/32 Challenge”
#28 30/30 Challenge
I dashed downtown yesterday… I needed some inspiration, in the form of 3 more subjects to paint. I snapped some photos, and as I drove down 4th Ave towards Marshall, this little sub shop caught my eye. Why? First the inviting outdoor seating area…Love it! Next there were three bicycles leaning against the building… 3 bicycles! and itContinue reading “#28 30/30 Challenge”

For this painting of Midway Drive Inn, I wanted to have life. I wanted the feel of a city plus people plus vehicles. Painting school at my house in my little studio (spare bedroom) is just the best. Thanks for following along, Linda

Thank you, Jim’s. Aunt Lucy and cousin Tim came in this weekend. It was last minute, and I wanted to host a big family dinner at my house. After announcing a break in my 30/30 Challenge, I made dinner plans for possibly 30 people! That’s where Jim’s came in;) I bought 5 quarts of sauce, boiled spaghetti, roasted spaghettiContinue reading “#25 30/30 Challenge”

∗ Ritter Park Rose Garden ∗ First of all, let me just put it out there… I LOVE roses. I love the way they look. Their fragrance. I love the feel of velvety petals. And I love the JOY I have when being near them. I love all varieties and all stages of their being: the first limeContinue reading “#24 30/30 Challenge”

Pullman Square I wanted to create a night-time street scene. Painting school is so much fun. Thanks for following along, Linda
#22 30/30 Challenge
I have painted the Marshall Memorial Fountain… a few times… but this picture made me want to paint it again;) I love the drama of this photo, the way the light affects the spray of water… and makes a spackling of lavender shades under the tree. I rearranged a few things and took out someContinue reading “#22 30/30 Challenge”
