Day 8 of 30 in 30 : "Book, Vase, & Flowers"

"Book, Vase, & Flowers" Oil on Canvas, 8"x 8", Original Painting, $25+$10.95 Shipping & Handling

Today marks the eighth day of Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Painting Challenge! And I am super pleased and excited to present to you my eighth oil painting for the challenge titled "Book, Vase, & Flowers" !

"Book, Vase, & Flowers" is the eighth oil painting still life in my "Metal and Glass" series. Over the next 22 days, all of the subject matters for my paintings will consist of either metal or glass or both. To learn more about why I chose "Metal and Glass" as my theme for the challenge click here!

So I've made it to week 2 of the Painting Challenge! It's been a lot of hard work, but it's also been a lot of fun! And I'm also brainstorming ideas about what my theme will be for my next 30 in 30! Any suggestions?

Well, that's all for now!'Til later fellow art lovers! Take care and God bless!

Two WSIPW Oil Paintings

Original Painting: "Spilt out Cherries":
 8"x10"- Oil on Canvas,  $75+$6.95 S&H USD

Hello everyone!

In my last blog post I mentioned how someone said that all of  the images posted on Facebook during the week before last's WSIPW (What Should I Paint Wednesday) were all beautiful and that I should paint them all. I also told you that I intended to follow that person's advice, and that I would paint them all. So far I've only showed you two of the paintings which were inspired from the week before's WSIPW. Today, however, I am showing you the last and third painting from that week. And as you can see above, it's also a still life oil painting, just like all of my other recent paintings, lately.

Now last week, I posted three new images on Facebook for WSIPW, as well, and after the voting on Facebook, the photograph which inspired this painting below won out!

Original Painting: "Apple, Book, & Leaves":
 8"x10"- Oil on Canvas,  $75+$6.95 S&H USD

Now, today is week 6's WSIPW. So please be sure to do your voting on Facebook today. And then stay tuned to see which image gets selected as the reference photo that I will use to paint from.

I hope you enjoy!

The mystery revealed!

"Take a look at Yourself" 8"x10" Original Not for Sale, but PRINTS available

Surprise! You know all those pastel animal paintings I painted a little while ago during one of those 30 paintings in 30 days painting challenges? Well, all those pastel art images and the art image that I discussed in my last blog post (see here), will all be apart of a new book  project that I'm working on. Yep, another children's book. This new children's book will be titled "Grab My Hand"- "But shhhhh, anything else about it is top secret, other than that it should be released sometime next month.

Oh, okay, I'll tell you one more thing: The top painting shown above is an illustration in my new upcoming picture book, as well! As you can see, I used Miriam, one our the twins, for this illustration -- but I will not disclose any more info for now. But when I do, if you keep following The Blog of SamDoum Art, you will be one of the first to see what this new picture book is all about!

Enjoy!
