Sold my first 20″x20″ painting at this weekend’s open studio! That’s the largest painting I’ve sold that wasn’t a commission. #pleased #originalart #mixedmedia #artistslife #artistsofinstagram
Artwork in Progress
I create just about every day, and share my works-in-progress here, and on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter. You can find finished paintings from 2011 through 2015 in my Daily Paintings feed.

A slow open studio has a silver lining: lots of drawing time! Here’s a detail of the page I’m working on. It’s making me really hungry to get my hands into paint again!

Drawing at my Open Studio. The smell of baking granola in the background.

Face #5. Quick sketch before Day 2 of my Open Studio starts!

And something abstract to satisfy my inner four-year-old! Faces are hard. Abstracts are FUN!

So pleased I managed to get a face in (#4!) before today’s Artist Open Studio!
Gotta get up and post signs around the neighborhood.

Face #3. About 2″. So far I can make a picture look human. It may not look anything like the model, but at least it looks like a person! ?

Face #2. Flexing my beginner muscles again, and feeling the discomfort! But I commit to staying in the Creative Sandbox with these, just as much as I do with my abstract work. After all, the purpose is not to impress people–the purpose is joy!

I’m inspired by all the members of my #CreativeSandboxCommunity who have been drawing faces (and getting really good at it!) So I decided to play with drawing faces myself.
Here’s the first one. What’s her name?

Starting a new page. From a random mark. It’s what I do—improvisation with pen and paper.
The rest of the day always go better when I play first. ?

Another fifteen minutes and another three inches. (Actually, probably more like 2 ½…) #tinyanddaily #doodleart #morningdoodle #morningart #originalart #workinprogress #goplay #gogetcreating #doodlewithdinwiddie #pigmamicron #blackandwhite #abstractart
