Daily Painting

Daily painting is an exercise in motivation and perseverance. These may not be the first qualities one looks for in a summer project. Summer is for taking off. Summer is for lazing around. What if one just doesn't feel like painting? Well, I plan to find out by painting nearly everyday during my summer on Long Beach Island in New Jersey. It will be just me holding myself to this goal by posting each day. I hope by painting everyday to hone my skills and to see what develops in style and technique. By the time I leave for Denver in August I will have 42 paintings; most decent, some disasters and a few really good ones. That is my goal.

Week3 Day6


I was out riding my bike around 8:30 pm along Beach Avenue.  When I happened to look west I saw the most glorious sunset.  I immediately headed for the bay to see, but had to pedal to get an unobstructed view.  As it got darker I turned back east just in time to see the moon rise out of a cloud bank over the ocean.  This is what you get on an island.

    Wonderful painting and wonderful commentary. Island living sounds delightful.
