I am doing it again! The plan is to make a painting every day in September while staying relatively sane, pregnant, and busy with a number of other commitments. Sounds like a good idea to you? Sign up at Leslie Saeta's blog.

I decided to kind of go with a theme this time. For a while, I've been considering some kind of a project where I would focus on landscapes (something I would like to be better at) and some kind of a structural approach to exploring abstracts (love them, but hardly ever paint them). So, in trying to choose between the two, I decide I don't really have to. I'll do some landscapes, then some abstracts, then some more landscapes. Maybe even both at the same time...Abstracted landscapes. Landscapey abstractions. We'll see :)

My first painting is based on a photograph taken in the Carpathian mountains, Ukraine. The title...I'll leave it mysterious for now.
