31 Oil Sketches - 31 Days

January, 2021

After taking a couple of weeks off for the holidays, I decided to brush the cobwebs off the paintbrushes and enter a January painting challenge. There is no prize or anything, just 31 paintings in 31 days to get in the flow. What a difference it makes! Consistency is a big deal. These little 5x7 and 6x6 inch works are quick oil sketches or color studies. There are landscapes, seascapes, and some botanicals - flora I scavenged from my yard. (I found a rose bud in January!)
