Jean Townsend's Daily Painting

Although these lemons above are still lemon-shaped, some of them (to come) are definitely mutated forms. I did see recently in Central Mark...

My first landscape. Although I like this genre, I haven't felt the pull of it until this last trip to L.A. All those palm trees juttin...

Back from LA....where everyone has a lemon tree in their back yards, or maybe an avocado or orange tree. It's so exciting to see the ...

Merry Christmas Everybody! Here is a short prayer from Jim Morrison: Oh great cr...

Whites! (Scary.) But this is the most wonderful glass, very thin and delicate. I love to look at it and hold it and drink out of it and p...

Just one or two more of these...it's sort of like making batches of cookies, and tweaking one thing each time to see if you can improve ...

6 x 6 inches oil on Gessobord I tried to channel Lorraine Shirkus for my edges, which want to be sharpish.

This has been an interesting little series, I have learned a lot about composition. I tried to keep everything as simple as possible. I a...

I can't help myself, another one. I turned the socket upside down here and used a round brush and thicker paint. I'm trying to fin...

Yet another.

This old light socket is still holding my interest.

I am pleased with this one, even though it's nothing much. It sits well for me or something. Terrible glare though, black is tough to ...

This gives me some relief from so much color.

I was thinking I would be more subdued in this painting and not use red at all or even any form of it, but it snuck in anyway.

This is my December entry for the challenge group, Some Texas Artists Like to Paint. The topic for this month is Chair. To see how others h...

This is an old clay whistle I bought in Mexico several years ago and painted for fun last week, so I offer it up as my post. I think it is...

More grappling with looseness, and also this is a glass bowl, not plastic, and the rim of it is completely square. Interesting result of do...

Yikes, I did this cup so many times I am now blind.

Another day of painting and wiping, so at the end of it I painted up a little one for posting. Sort of cranking one out but in a good way.

Another portrait in the hat...I was pretty quick with this, trying to keep moving and relaxed and the forms as simple as possible. Sorry fo...

Huge brush, harsh light, lots of paint, loose as a goose.

so...ripping along, keeping it as loose as I can, not staying too long on any one thing. Support team: thanks for those helpful words.

I changed to an 8x8" size, maybe jostling things around a bit will be helpful.

Have hit slough of despond, another day of baaaaaad painting. This one, not so bad, from last week, wiped the earlier ones.

This is a painting I did last week and didn't like so much because of its stiffness and the slight wonk of the bowl, but am now posting ...

Well, I didn't see this one coming, I set out to do really loose and then here I was. It is sorta loose. I have been looking at loose...

Glad to be finished with that bowl, thanks everybody for all your support. It takes a village. My next task is to looooooosen up. And al...

Voila! Done.
