“This Sweet Simple Existence”…Daily Art Project 2026 - May
Read about my process and the lessons learnt from my daily art practice during the month of May. I can’t believe another month of daily painting has gone by. After a hectic month of painting frantically in April, May has been much less stressful. I was painting primarily in my sketchbook with watercolors, wax pastels and some gouache. I tried to stick to the theme of still life and food art but I veered into portraits, everyday objects here and there.

Late last year, I had decided to embark on a rather daunting project. I would make 2026 my year of living creatively, my year of daily painting, a personal art project called “This Sweet Simple Existence” focused on painting objects (whether still life, food, household objects, etc), images and scenes from everyday life to showcase the magical and extraordinary in the seemingly mundane daily existence.
