“I paint objects as I think them, not as I see them. ” Day five of 30 paintings in 30 days. I am burnt siena, ultramarine blue and Cubist today. What else? The day was beautiful, the light just right, so why not paint outside? Exactly! And, off I went to visit my hometown railroad depot for a session of watercolor painting. I have drawn it before as part of my “Drawing Talent” project, but had not painted the depot. Sometimes success is showing up and going for it. That’s how today’s post feels. This is another portrait improvisation. I try to start and finish in one sitting, which is not my usual approach. For me, this is a test of wits. I have to be able to think on my feet rather than mull over and ponder my next move.Porto Gelato: Day 6 of 30 Paintings in 30 Days

Today’s painting is a good example of how I find subject matter I had a story I wanted to tell, but didn’t know what building would help me tell that story.
