Day 8: 30 in 30: Every and Anything Series

"Glass Bowl with Red Tomatoes" Oil on Canvas, 8"x 10", Original Painting FOR SALE: $75.00 + $10.95 S&H

Hello everyone! It's January 8th, 2015 and today is Day 8 of my 30 Painting's in 30 Days Painting Challenge!

My theme for this 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge is "Every and Anything" and over the next 22 days I will be painting every and anything from landscapes, to pet portraits; from people portraits, to still lifes; and so forth! (To learn more about why I chose this theme click HERE.)

Today's painting is a glass bowl full of red, juicy, ripe tomatoes. I don't eat pork bacon, due to religious reasons, but I could definitely go for a turkey bacon BLT! Yummy! Only problem is that I'm on a strict diet and I can't have any bread . . . Oh . . . oh well . . . I'll get to have a cheat day at the end of this month in my dieting, so maybe then I'll get to have my BLT. Yummy and tempting to eat now, but I've already lost 5 pounds in less than a week and I don't want to ruin all my hard work! :)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy today's painting. I like this one a lot, especially how the black background really makes those red tomatoes "pop".

Tomorrow, for Day 9's 30 in 30, I will be unveiling another "Every and Anything"  painting. Until then, I hope to see you back on the Blog of SamDoum Art tomorrow!

'Til later fellow art lovers! Take care, and God bless!

Today marks the twenty-first day of Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Painting Challenge! And I am super pleased and excited to present to you not only my twenty-first painting, but also my 19th and 20th paintings as well, as I did not post for days 19 and 20.

Why didn't I post? Well, it's a combination of reasons: between having a lack of energy, to do so, and also being too busy, to do so.

 What have I been busy doing? Well, running errands with my hubby . . . helping the girls with homework . . . household chores -- Cooking and cleaning . . . laundry . . . helping my mom with a yard sale . . . attending a birthday party . . .  attending church service . . . bible study . . . the list kinda goes on and on, but you get the idea. And by the time I did get some free time, I was to exhausted too use it. Last night I was so tired that I fell asleep at 6:00 p.m.! But I made up for it, today, as I got up at 4:30 a.m in order to get a head start on working on some of the paintings that I've missed painting during the last two days.

So here are three brand new paintings for you today!: "Arabic Dallah and Persimmons", "Gold Collinder with Tomatoes", & "Monkey Shoulder Glass with Marbles". These three paintings are the 19th, 20th, and 21st paintings in my Metal and Glass series. Over the next 9 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!

I really enjoy all of the reflections in these paintings! I also love how the persimmons came out in the "Arabic Dallah & Persimmons" painting. The marbles in the "Monkey Shoulder Glass with Marbles" came out pretty nice too!  :)

Anyway, thanks so much for visiting my blog today! I really appreciate your haven taking the time to come check out and see what's happening on The Blog of SamDoum Art! It means so much to me. Please keep the comments coming. I really enjoy them and would love to know what you think.

Thanks so much again! Take care God bless!

'Til later fellow art lovers!

Week 1's WSIPW (What Should I Paint Wednesday)

Original Painting: "Pair of Tomatoes":

 8"x10"- Pastel on Illustration Board,  $75+$6.95 S&H USD

Good afternoon! Hope your having a wonderful Tuesday!

Last week, on Wednesday, we started a new tradition here at  SamDoum Art called "What Should I Paint Wednesdays" and for the first " What Should I Paint Wednesday"   ( last week) I posted three photographs of still life's on FaceBook and asked for you to vote on which one you'd like for  me to paint with my pastels. Photograph number one was a photo of tomatoes, number two: strawberries, and number three: limes. I waited until the end of that day, 12 midnight before counting the results and the tomatoes won out. So here's my 4th pastel still life in my pastel still life series which is also your pastel painting pick for last week's "What Should I Paint Wednesday." I hope you enjoy!

'Til later fellow art lovers! God bless!
