The challenge: Paint this image using only burnt sienna, ultramarine blue and titanium white. That's it. No other colors. With that combo you can have it look pretty darn close to a full color painting by achieving a wide array of values and temperatures.
Every DPW (Daily Paintworks) a group of wonderful daily painters has a challenge and anyone can give it a try. The fun part is all the paintings are post on their blog for all to see. Most of the paintings are for sale. If you would like to see what has been posted for the Zippo Challenge click here. Michael Naples, a great daily painter, posted this weeks challenge.

The Vegetable Market
Today I went to Duneden and painted with a group of plien air artist from Tarpon Springs Fl. It was a perfect thing to do, visite the green market in Dunedin Fl. The green market, brussel sprouts,leeks,radish, and all kinds of Fl fruit. Wonderful things to ear and great things to paint.
There were lots of fun tents and colorful fruits and vegetable. The smells were wonderful, it was hard to think about painting with the great music and all the people walking around the market.
A wonderful collection of booths and shoppers.

Painting roses is hard, There is no room for overwork, and every brush stroke needs be right. On the other hand, painting roses is easy. You only need few strokes, and you don't have to follow the setup exactly.
Well, this will happen after you have painted many of them.

This week I saw the movie "The Black Swan" so my mind is now thinking ballet all day long. Twirling with memories of the movie. I think of ballerienas ,of Degas, of long days of hard practice, 0f artist trying to capture the experience.
I once read that you should surround yourself with the type of people you would like to be like, because it really does rub off. I think as artist we should expose ourselves to as much motivational and artistic stimulus as possible because I am sure some of it will rub off. When I speak of " artistic stimulus, I am not speaking of a cash influx by the government but to physically seeing as many great works of art, and successful artist and galleries as we can possible see.I think it gives me direction.
My environment changes my perception. It influences who I am,that is why I have choosen to be an artist. It is also the way that I personally motivate myself so I choose a rich environment filled with color ,change,eclectic friends and this week choreography of the ballet.

Lemons
Ten Min Study of Lemons:
The rules: Get a timer. Divide your canvas or canvases (I used 2 - 6x6in Raymar canvases) into 8 or so small squares (or rectangles). They should be smallish – a couple or 3 inches square or thereabouts – they don’t have to be perfect. Now choose ONE object. Just one. Set your timer for 10 minutes. Paint your object in the first square. When the timer goes off – stop! I mean it. Repeat until you are done. You can rotate your object and/or change the light for each new square.
The objective: You want to get a feel for your object in terms of brush strokes. Make sure you SQUINT and SIMPLIFY! Whatever you do, DON’T get bogged down by the details or you’ll never finish. Try to think of it NOT as an apple (or whatever you’ve chosen) but rather just shapes and colors and values. Paint what you see – not what you THINK you see. If you find yourself doing the same thing every time – experiment! You won’t learn unless you try something different. Expect the first one to be bad – you are getting a feel for just how long 10 minutes is. They will only get better. I can’t wait to see how you guys do on this one!!

Contemplation
Art is contemplation. It is the pleasure of the mind which searches into nature and which there divines the spirit of which nature herself is animated.
Auguste Rodin
All Art is self portrait.

Grazing Horse
When I started this painting I decided on a soft muted color palette. First I drew the landscape and horse in burnt sianna. I used a lavender mixed from phthahlo blue and alzarian crimson. I kept very soft edges on the landscape because I wanted to use hard edges on the horse. I painted the shadows on the horse first with shades of burnt umber, The last details were the shadow under the horse and the high lights on the tail.

Watering the Peeps
Growing up on a Michigan farm baby chicks were a part of the farm animal menagerie of everyday life. My mother took care of the egg business. Every spring we would get a new box of Peeps. My mom would put a fruit jar fitted with a watering cap in the box and a light bulb over it to keep them toasty warm.Poultry brooders were the home made kind back then.Watering the Peeps
