Lots going on this week. I’ve been loving the colours of the sea, and seem to want to keep painting the horizon. Oh yeah, and an amazing birthday trip to see the Matisse cut outs at the Tate Modern.

This week I’ve been experimenting with different drawing and painting Apps. It always takes a while to get used to a new program. Here are some of the better results.

Each week I set myself a mini theme, which I usually don’t follow. For most of the week I’ve seeing how much detail I can leave out, but still have the subject of the image clear. I hope you think it’s working OK.

Here are the last couple of daily paintings I made in February.

You may also have noticed that I’ve rejigged the website, so that A Painting a Day 2014 has it’s own page, accessed through the Gallery tab. A Painting a Day 2014 is subdivided into months.
