Chucks and a Yoyo

I thought my son's Chuck Taylors would make for a fun nostalgic image, especially if paired with a Duncan yoyo. I remember in the 3rd or 4th grade a genuine "Duncan Yoyo Master" came to my school and put on a show. My 9 year old self was amazed. I've played with them ever since and can do a few tricks like Around the World, Walk the Dog, or Rock the Baby. So this painting gave me a good excuse to go out and buy one…it only took me a few hours to break the string.

Pears and Tea

I picked up some cool mugs at the thrift store and managed to work it in with these pears. I wasn't terribly jazzed about this when I finished it, but it's growing on me. I'm looking forward to using the mugs again though.

Man Down!

I should probably change the name of this blog from "…Daily Painting" to "…Striving for Daily Painting." September was a busy month of freelance graphic design work, so I didn't get to paint like I'd prefer. It's wild how much a month off can mess with your skills. This one felt off while painting, but I was pleased with the end results all the same.
