Day 13 - 30 Paintings in 30 days - Pumpkin Candle

Last night I looked for fall decorations in my boxes and found few small things. This Pumpkin Candle has been with me for few years, I use it for decoration but now that I have painted this candle, I think I should use it this fall!

Day 12 - 30 Paintings in 30 days - Dried and Fallen

This dried leaf is from my backyard and such leaves have started falling just about last 3-4 days. It is something new and our puppy thinks they are treats of what! She goes crazy over these and its hard for us not to let her eat those...

After doing yesterday's colorful fall leaves, I thought it would be a nice contrast to do a dried leaf!

Day 11 - 30 Paintings in 30 days - Fall Glory

After 5 Christmas Themed paintings, I changed the theme once again. Some of the next ones will be on the theme Fall/Autumn Season. This is the most colorful seasons of all and I used to love the fall leaves until recently... Our new puppy - Lily,  goes in the backyard and although the leaves are not so colorful, she still likes to chew on them. Its not fun for us because we got to constantly watch out for her not to eat those leaves. Any ways here is my painting, hope you like it!

Day 10 - 30 Paintings in 30 days - Purple Ornament Glow

Here is another experiment with Purple ornament and complimentary colors under my light setup. See how fun shapes are created when the object is kept under light. If you have never observed, this Christmas, after decorating ornaments on your Christmas tree and turning ON the lights, look at one individual ornament closely. I guarantee that you will have fun looking at the shapes and colors created!

Day 9 - 30 Paintings in 30 days - Green Ornament Glow

I was inspired by the glow of these ornaments under my light setup and felt like experimenting with complimentary colors. However simple the object is, I feel it is always fun to play with effect of light on the object. Under sunlight (plein air), the experience would be much different. When I get more time, I would love to do plein air paintings (i.e. painting outdoors), but until then setting up objects under light is fun and good practice too!
