Today’s painting was actually a commission. Fellow 30 in 30 artist, Karin Naylor, asked me to paint my rendition of one of her paintings. It’s a beautiful painting of a chicken that is on the masthead of her blog. Now Karin paints very beautifully in oils–and my work is quite different. So I didn’t even try to make it look the same. I did take a cue from her color scheme which was very helpful. And I enjoyed very much having a model to paint from instead of painting out of thin air as I normally do. Well, here is the result and I am quite pleased. Be sure to check out Karin’s blog and see all of her other wonderful paintings. I’ve said before, and I will say again, the best thing about this challenge is meeting other wonderful artists. Their support has been fabulous! Thanks, Karin.

It’s weird to see I do have a “style”. Being so new to painting, sometimes it’s hard to see it yourself. Thanks for your kind words.
