Day 1 - 30 paintings in 30 days

Day 1:  Which end is up?

My first painting of this next 30 days, from a 5 paintings series. 

I am trying to use what I have, and i had a bunch of old half-painted canvas boards, 8" x 10". They were portraits of sorts from a college project that I didn't use. So I painted over them this morning - keeping the general shapes that were already there. 

Then I had to work today (darn it). 

Tonight, during Mira's homework time, I started the drawing process. Still trying to find the perfect pen for drawing on a ruff canvas panel covered in paint. This is not an easy thing to find.  I used a new type of pen for this. They are supposed to be archival and light fast and pigment ink. We shall see. I like them but they didn't last long and I found myself writing on paper to get them going again. I may have to break my goal of not buying anything new in this 30 days - as I may have worn them out with this one painting.

Anyway, 
I am working abstract for these days. What do you see?
Is this still a portrait?
or did it become a landscape?
or a microscopic view? 

You decide.

I am super excited about this series. 

1 down 29 to go...

My first impression was more landscape but of geographical nature. I'll be interested to see where this takes you.

    The words to go with the art. Because Art doesn't speak for itself.
