Any Day Now 101 - Flannel

I was talking to my daughter on the phone the other day, and I said, "I think I will start..." and I second guessed myself and stopped talking. She said, "a new painting series?" Ha! She might know me pretty well!

October is not the month when many artists choose to do daily paintings, but I think that is how I will approach this series. Today's painting is full of autumn color, and actually reminds me of a plaid flannel shirt on a cool day. There is also a brighter area which I intended to represent light near the focal point. 

In a way, I am diving into this series without quite knowing which direction I want to go with it. I hope to make a painting each day, and I want to make them work well in groupings, but I am still not decided on some things, such as which compositional choices I want for the paintings. I am thinking that if I come to a better plan on what I want, I may end up painting over some of the series that doesn't fit with the rest. (That is a little nudge for you to consider purchasing if you see one you particularly like, since it may be painted over later if it doesn't work in the whole grouping.) 

A theme verse for all of the paintings in this group is from the New Testament. It reminds me that any day now, I will be face to face with the Savior Who loves me so much that He died in my place. 

John 14: 1-3  “Your heart must not be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in Me. In My Father’s house are many dwelling places; if not, I would have told you. I am going away to prepare a place for you. If I go away and prepare a place for you, I will come back and receive you to Myself, so that where I am you may be also."
