Daily Painting

I enjoy scouting around on the internet seeing what other creative types are doing, what motivates them, and how they are honing their skills.  Everything I read indicates that it has less to do with exceptional creative talent or inspiration and more to do with habitual determination and a dedication to doing the work. 

Yesterday I bought myself seven 8" x 10" canvases.  My goal is to paint everyday this week.  I began today by rooting around in the fridge for some inspiration.  I set up a small still life of half a lemon and half a lime. 

I have included a photo of today's result, but I will also begin to post photos of these daily paintings on the "Art Gallery" page of this blog.

Can you find a daily pocket of time to practice your craft?  If  summer affords you a little more flexibility in your schedule, why not "pencil yourself in" for something creative?  You'll be impressed what 30 minutes here and there can result in. 

Thank you for visiting My Turquoise Kettle Life.
Have a creative day!
