Several years ago an art teacher in the school where I used to teach went through a stressful period when a medical condition sapped her strength and energy. In order to keep painting, she decided to do one painting a day for a limited period of time. What to paint?
She grabbed an apple out of the refrigerator and explained, "I chose the apple for my first composition because of its simplicity and availability. Completing a work in less than an hour and considering it a study was the goal."
Last night I went to the opening reception of her exhibition. The paintings and drawings were arranged by calendar month and date. Here you can see the art work for both January and November. Comparing the two months you can tell that the subjects became more varied and whimsical as time passed.
Of course I bought one that she painted in July, but I won't show you my purchase for a few more days. Stick around, come back tomorrow to see more.
Below these two you can see one of the paintings in the November collection.
