“This Sweet Simple Existence”- August 2026- A Year of Daily Painting
August has arguably been the most challenging month of 2026 for the daily art project, “This Sweet Simple Existence”, simply because I was going to stop at July and I had no intention of painting daily in August. I really wanted to focus on my other project and also create more larger artworks in collections or series. Furthermore, I had run low on most of my paint colors and I had no more surfaces to paint on.
“This Sweet Simple Existence”- June 2026- A Year of Daily Painting
As part of my daily art project 2026, “This Sweet Simple Existence”, I am painting one painting a day for an entire year and at the end of every month I will be reflecting on my experience of that month’s daily painting experience. Another month gone by of “This Sweet Simple Existence- Daily Art Project 2026”. As of today, June 30, I have completed 6 months worth of daily paintings, 181 paintings in total. I started June’s paintings a bit late, 10 days into the month, so I had to work fast. To that end, I decided to paint on acrylic paper, 9×12”, with each sheet of paper taped off at the halfway point so that I could do 2 paintings per sheet, each 6×9”, give or take with a white border around it. The paintings were painted using goauche, oils and acrylic on paper.
