a painting a day

a painting a day is what im working on this month in mixed media,this will be a interesting challenge for me and a few art friends i knw online the purpose of this is to experiment and to loosen up and produce 29 works that you use as a refrence for future works,these are really alot of fun if you work outside your comfort zone and learn to just let the work come out and not to think so hard about it lol..try it youll see! this painting was done useing only a pallet knife and the close up is the part of the painting i liked the most and the ideas in it, i wrote information on the back so i can use it in a work on canvas or in fiber at a later time
