365 paintings done!
The project is finished, a daily for the Dockyard Arts Centre everyday for 365 days, it has been an interesting experience, I think I have learned a lot about how to put gouache on panels, and even more about preparing panels, I had plenty of time to experiment.
I highly recommend the process, having a commitment to provide a painting to someone else means that the painting gets done everyday, no excuses, no “I’ll get to it later ” no ” I think I’ll take a break today” just put paint on panel, because sometimes the best paintings happen when you least expect it.
After a while pulling out the equipment after breakfasts becomes a habit and it’s a positive habit. I do believe that this is a good thing.
The habit continues, I just did my daily, but it is not 8×6 and it is probably going to go in my group show with Jonah Jones and Charles Knights. It is however another gouache, habits are hard to break.
The Artcentre have sold a couple of hundred of them and the remaining ones are slowly going up in price as the supply diminishes. This is a fundraiser after all.
You can see the complete collection on www.artbermuda.com and the remaining originals hanging on the wall at the back of the gallery.
I will be posting some of my favourites from the year.
