8x8 Inches Oil on Linen Panel $200 Click here to purchase via PayPal I've painted this little calf before and will likely paint him again. It's funny how a photo can take you back to a certain moment in time, and this one does that for me. This is another painting from last week. Our windy, gray weather proves challenging for properly photographing wet paintings, so I've gotten behind. I do, however, try to post quick snapshots on Instagram.

6x7 Oil on Linen Panel I loved painting this little pear and all of its imperfections. It served to remind me of the Wabi-Sabi aesthetic. Finding beauty in imperfection and accepting life's impermanence is such a beautiful concept. Nothing lasts. Nothing is finished. Nothing is perfect. Happy painting!

5x7 Oil on Linen

9x12 Inches on Linen Panel Usually, my Sundays are spent cooking and puttering around the house, but this week, I finished all of my chores on Saturday. So, this morning was spent blissfully painting in my pajamas. I'm thankful for an understanding husband that doesn't mind my craziness. Life is pretty sweet. My favorite part of this painting is the pureness of the early morning light. It is a bit bigger than normal and measures 9x12 inches. It's painting is available through my  Daily Paintworks gallery . I hope your weekend is relaxing and full of your favorite adventures. Happy painting!

The past few months, I have been posting a few process shots (see below) of my paintings on Instagram. It is fun to get feedback from the creative community there, and it is even more fun to see all of the wonderful artwork that is posted.   If you are using Instagram, I would love to follow you.   And if you would like to follow my posts, my ID is d_mcdowell. Have a great weekend!

I loved painting this beautiful amber mallet bottle from Jury Smith's  Bottle and Bowl  website.  It was fun to see our landscape reflected in the highlight, and it seemed to pair perfectly with the black, muscato grapes.  Which, by the way, were quite tasty!

After four, blissful days of rain and cool weather, the sun is shining brightly here again. I can't believe that it is already the middle of July. Summer moves so quickly! I hope you're having a wonderful weekend!
