Don Gray said...: RUDHI, thank you. Yes, it could almost be floating on water. The gravel was wet, so very dark.; Wednesday, October 28, 2009 at 9:51:00 AM PDT

WHAT"S IT ALL ABOUT?

Welcome to my daily painting blog.
Here's the deal: most everyday I trek out into the wilds of the woods, or maybe the wilds of my studio to complete a new small painting, usually oil on gessoed hardboard, 5 x 7 or 6 x 6 inches in size. Then I take a picture of it, close my eyes, cross my fingers and push the button that posts it on this blog, floating out into the virtual world.

If you see it, like it, think you might want to own it, send an email to don@dailyartwest.com and I'll send you a PayPal invoice. You can pay with credit or debit card, or with a PayPal account. (Please note: You do not have to be a Paypal member to purchase. )
