Homemade Soup Anyone?

"Bowl of Fresh Veggies" Oil on Canvas, 8"x10", Original Painting , SOLD 
 
Today's painting was painted in the basement of our new home several weeks ago. It's a still life of a wooden bowl filled with lots of delicious veggies from onions to peppers. I'm feeling kind of hungry. Homemade soup anyone?

But oh my goodness! Have you any idea why I'm so super excited !? It's because Tomorrow  marks the first day of Leslie Saeta's 30 paintings in 30 days painting challenge, which I am participating in! I've got my canvases ready. I've got my brushes ready. And I've also got my illustration board and pastels ready! So here we go . . . It's going to be an exciting 30 days and I hope to produce some pretty amazing artwork for the next 30 days!

So . . . stay tuned and keep visiting us here on the blog of SamDoum art. It's gonna be a blast!

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

Leslie Saeta's 30 Day Painting Challenge: SamDoum's Day 2

It's Day 2 of Leslie Saeta's 30 painting in 30 days painting challenge and I have my new second painting for you today! This one is pretty cool. I love the greens, reds, and blues.

Now, as discussed in my last blog post, I promised to tell you a little more about where the come from:

Where did they come from? Well, it all started out when I was working as a sales representative, taking inbound calls at a well known company here in Rochester, NY. Sometimes, and especially on Sundays, calls were slow and I would get really bored. And so, if I wasn't reading my Bible on slow days (I did this a lot--It's the greatest book of all time in my opinion), I would just sit at my desk and doodle a little. And over time these drawings became known as "Kaleidoscope" drawings.

Occasionally, someone would come up to my desk and comment on how beautiful the drawings were. And one person even said I should think about selling them. But at that phase of my life I didn't take being an artist seriously, as I only drew and painted as a hobby, for fun.

But now that I have SamDoum Art, well, I'm selling them! (Smiles).

In my next blog post, I'll tell you a little more about where I draw my inspiration from for my so called "Kaleidoscope Paintings." I hope you enjoy!

Kind Regards,
