Day 27 January 30 in 30

Just finished this painting for Day 27.

Rome

I'm planning to do a "Bikes" series and while looking for reference photos, I found this one I took while visiting the ruins in Rome.

One biker stopped to look at the ruins and I just love how his helmet shone against the ruins.

Here's my impression of that scene.

Day 26 January 30 in 30

While thinking and deciding what my next series will be,  I decided to paint this photo that my dear friend Leila has been asking me to paint for a long time.  She took the photo and emailed it to me, I think three times already and has been asking for the painting ever since.  Finally I got the chance to paint it for her.

Painting while watching (actually just listening) to 2 movies - "Sum of all Fears" and "The Peacemaker" I was able to finish the painting.  Wow! What a night.  Now my back is aching again.

Here's Day 26 (I know I skipped 5 days).  I'll give Leila the honor of giving this painting a title.  For now it's Untitled.

Day 20 January 30 in 30

It took me longer to finish this painting compared to my other Guide paintings.  I was thinking of taking it to a different direction and that slowed me down.  I was seriously considering starting over but I persevered and I think it captured how I'm envisioning the scene.  This is the last painting for my "Guides" series

This is a scene from our island hopping tour.  We are on our way back to our home for the week and our guides were busy getting our boat to "take off".

Here's Day 20

Day 19 January 30 in 30

I just completed this painting.  The picture is not too good.  I have to get a better set-up to photograph my paintings at night.  I'll upload a better picture tomorrow.

This is another scene from our island hopping tour.  I think we're on our way home from a full day of fun hiking, swimming, snorkeling and eating.  I love the way our guides keep our life vests secured so they won't get off the boat on their own.

Here's Day 19 (oh my I'm way behind!).

Day 18 of January 30 in 30

During our island hopping tour we stopped at this island where we stayed for some hiking, swimming  and also a good lunch.

While swimming our guide was patiently waiting for us and making sure we're safe.

Here's my impression of that scene.
