Day 26 - 9/1/13

A month is 30 or 31 days.  At minimum, a month is 28 days. So, I will keep painting until I have a minimum of 28 kachinas - but hopefully until I have 31.  It is unfortunate that I was unable to paint for 28 or 30 or 31 days consecutively, and I did state that my goal was to paint "every day", but life got in the way and thus the goal must be modified. 

I had time today and I had motivation so I painted.  Another fairly simple image (I like these the best) and another composition that is very centralized - thus not so successful.  I'm starting to wonder if part of the centralizing issue stems from the fact that I am using square structures....  

I found a random set of oils while cleaning out my office/studio closet and have been using them for the last two paintings.  They are not as nice a quality as my normal oils - Windsor & Newton Winton Oils - and they smell funny.  I have no clue where they came from and I am slightly worried that they are those stupid water-soluable oils that some high school art programs use.  If that is the case, it could explain why they don't react as nicely as my normal paints - especially when thinned.
