Day 11: 30 in 30: Every and Anything Series

 "Whole and Sliced Pomegranate," Oil on Canvas, 8"x10", Original Painting FOR SALE: $75.00 + 
 $10.95 S&H

Hello everyone! It's January 11th, 2015 and today is Day 11 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 19 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 still life of two red pomegranates : whole and sliced.

I've been doing a lot of still lifes recently, but I've been thinking about switching gears and doing some more kaleidoscopic snowflakes.

So far in this challenge I've mostly done still lifes, but I want to mix things up a bit and do some different types of paintings: not just more kaleidoscopes, but perhaps, some landscapes and some portraits.

So tomorrow I'll post another kaleidoscopic painting, and maybe a few more after that, then  in the days ahead, I'll do some portraits of my three little girls and also some landscapes, I'm thinking.

Anyway, I hope you enjoy today's painting. I've never been a big fan of pomegranates, but they sure are pretty!

Alright, well, that's all for now from the Blog of SamDoum Art. Thanks so much for visting my blog today! Take care and God bless! 'Til later fellow art lovers!

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!

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!

Strawberries On A Plate

Original Painting: "Strawberries On A Plate":
 8"x10"- Oil on Canvas,  $75+$6.95 S&H USD

Hello everyone!

The day before yesterday I showed you an oil painting that I had completed which was drying on my easel.

Well, today's painting is also an oil painting and it is drying on my easel today as well! I am calling this one, simply, "Strawberries On A Plate." You may recognize this image, as the reference photo for this piece was posted on Facebook during last weeks WSIPW, also known as "What Should I Paint Wednesday." Although, after the Facebook voting, the day before yesterday's painting won out, someone mentioned that the images posted on Facebook were all beautiful and that I should paint them all! So I am doing just that . . .
In my next post, I will show you the third image from last week's WSIPW. So stay tuned and enjoy!

Red Roses in a Silver Vase

Original Painting: "Red Roses in a Silver Vase":
 8"x10"- Oil on Canvas,  $75+$6.95 S&H USD

Hello everyone! Look what's drying on the easel ! ! !

I have my new painting which was inspired from last week's "What Should I Paint Wednesday" for you today! After the voting on Facebook, last week, this still life of red roses in a silver vase won out.

Love the softness of this piece which kind of reminds me of pastel -- But it isn't. This piece: "Red Roses in a Silver Vase" was painted in oil paint! Fooled ya, didn't I?

I thought I'd switch things up from my usual pastels and decided to do an oil painting today! A rarity from me!  :)

I hope you enjoy!

Oh  --  And P.S. Please don't forget to vote on Facebook tomorrow in order to vote on what gets painted next week!

Til later, fellow art lovers!
