A Painting a Day!

After reading Carol Marine's book Daily Painting, I am inspired to paint a small painting every day, and post it online.  We have all heard that to get better at something you must practice often.  There probably isn't a better way to become a more skilled painter than to paint everyday.  A simple concept, but often difficult to execute.  Carol suggests painting small because you can finish an entire painting in 1-2 hours, it doesn't overwhelm, you feel productive, and you have put in your practice time.  THIS made so much sense to me, and is something I think is very doable for me.

So I went to Michael's armed with a bunch of coupons, and a $50 gift card from Christmas, and purchased a bunch of small canvases during their recent sale.  I was able to buy $130 worth of stuff for $17!!!  Score!!
