“This Sweet Simple Existence” - September 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.
September just flew by for me, what with he start of school and a return to a somewhat consistent routine. I painted with watercolors exclusively for the entire month. I used watercolor paper, 300gsm, cold pressed, and I taped off the edges so there is a clean ¼ inch border around each painting.
A book review of Elizabeth Gilbert's "Big Magic"...
I am a huge fan of Elizabeth Gilbert, and have been for a long time. I've read most of her major bestselling novels: "Eat, Pray, Love" (duh) "Committed", and her phenomenal novel, "The Signature of All Things". And while I love her in any genre, I feel she does non-fiction so much better than fiction.
