Today marks the second day of Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Painting Challenge! And I am  super pleased and excited to present to you my second oil painting for the challenge titled "Glass on Wooden Table with Red Cloth"!

"Glass on Wooden Table with Red Cloth" is the second oil painting still life in my "Metal and Glass" series. Over the next 29 days, the 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!

This one came out pretty well, I think. I believe that I was not only able to pick up some of the reflections of the red cloth on the glass bottles, very well, but I was also able to capture a lot of the texture of the glass, as not all glass is smooth. All and all I'd say I'm quite pleased. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do! Please tell me what you think! : Leave a comment in the comments section!

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

Leslie Saeta's 30 Day Painting Challenge: SamDoum's Day 5

It's Day 5 of Leslie Saeta's 30 paintings in 30 days challenge, and I have my new fifth painting for you today!

Now, as discussed in my last blog post, I promised I'd mention some other sources of inspiration  for my Kaleidoscope Paintings and here they are: Pinwheels and snowflakes. Remember those? -- Those cut out snowflakes that you made in elementary school and those paper pinwheels on a wooden stick that you would blow on to make them move? Brings back a lot of memories doesn't it? My siblings and I had a lot of fun when we were kids, playing with these simple toys, especially the pinwheels. We really enjoyed ourselves with them. The funny thing, though, is that I haven't seen one of those pinwheels in years. Perhaps I should look for some for my three little girls to play with. I'm sure they'd love them.

Anyway, yep, so that just about wraps up my sources of inspiration for my Kaleidoscope drawings.

The one below kind of reminds me of X-mas (with all the greens and all the reds), which kind of gives me an idea: In my next blog post, tomorrow, it's Valentines Day! -- well, at least in the world of SamDoum Art! Enjoy and 'til later fellow art lovers!
