Painting Not Posting

I have painted, just have not had time to post. Late night playing and relaxation really. Using up paint on the palette. For these two, I was using a large bamboo brush.

This was cleaning the palette too. It looked like a royal mess. But the next day, I liked the mess and I added marks.

Good news from the Pulmonologist! Lungs are sounding better. He also noticed that I was not coughing as much. Great to hear! Going forward with the same treatments.

I ordered new cannulas. The oxygen tubing. I saw two reviews on YouTube by Chanel White. The new ones are Micro cannulas. Thank goodness I found the videos!

It is hard to see a difference in the photo, but the new one is on the left. The nasal prongs on the previous tubing were so long, that I had to trim them. They were wider, and I was always very aware of them.

The new cannula is so comfortable! The actual tubing is smaller, and the nose prongs don’t irritate. They are slimmer as well, and taper at the end. I barely feel like I am wearing it. The earlier cannula made me feel like I was wearing a bridle. Add reading glasses, and it felt like a full face mask.

The slender tubing does not hurt my ears. Before the tubing was resting on the back of my ear. Now it rests right in the crevice where the ear meets the head. MUCH better! Such a blessing to have found these early on. I also ordered a one-sided cannula. I will show you that when it arrives. I am looking forward to trying it.

Well. I am going to do it. I signed up for #The100DayProject. It starts April 3rd. So if any of you are as nuts as I am, check it out. Judy Jacobs mentioned it, with an open invitation. I have thought about it for a week or more, and I have a few theme ideas. So, done. Put it out there. Can’t back out now.

Happy week to you!

Here we are. The end of the challenge. And I have to say, February made it fly by. Tomorrow I will share all 30 paintings in a collage. I will share my favorites, and tell you which paintings were the most popular by page views.

See you then!

A Good Start. And not far from done. Layers. Acrylic below, watercolor on top.

Still can’t believe how fast week three went by. And here we are in the final countdown. I read that Pic Monkey is doing a revamp. Still in Beta testing so no difference yet.

DAY 26

I know I said I wouldn’t. All votes were for Day 26 being done. I took Val’s advice, and darkened the pot. But it really looks so much better in person. No harsh edges, the colors blend together nicely. Not sure if it helped to show roundness, but I do like it better. I think I went more intense, instead of darker.

I also softened some of the hard edges in the greens. Just a few areas. I added a bit more of the Sunkissed Peach to the background. Just top right, bottom left and above the pot. I reinforced the turquoise top left and bottom left. I laid the color down, then patted it off. And really, all these additions are soft and not as different from the WIP as they seem here.
