Daily Paintings

Brown Egg On Plate

Justin Clayton made a New Years resolution to paint each and everyday, and voila, Daily Paintings was born! True to his promise, he has painted a small portrait each day since January 1, 2006. Each day one of these beautiful works is uploaded to his blog and available for purchase. You ca even sign up for email notifications so that you can be the first to see his daily postings! I am dying to get my hands on one! They are so wonderful in their simplicity!

Last week Justin posted a time lapsed video documenting the process of painting one of his works. For me the experience of watching him work is magical. You really get a sense of technique and scale. I was mesmerized watching the image unfold and am so glad that he thought to video the process!


Justins work is so very inspiring. I admire his commitment! You can read an excellent interview that Holly over at decor8 had with Justin back in April here.

Duane Keiser, an art professor in Richmond, VA, has been doing daily paintings for several years now.His stuff is great--I'm kind of addicted and have purchased 3 so far.http://duanekeiser.blogspot.com/

I was going to mention Duane Keiser as well, but nikki beat me to it.

Thanks for posting the daily painting piece. Justin And Duane are two artists that all of us other "daily painters" aspire to.
I am following their lead. Though I walk at a much slower pace.
Great and interesting blog. I'll visit again.
