Day 5 #30in30 paintings by jada 1 hour daily oil ‘Apple In A Jug’ 6×8″

Just getting warmed up now..and trying to catch up…after the late start…i don’t know if i will be able to manage every day (anyway, having gotten the late start tends to make me feel a little less competitive with myself)…i am deep into the book creation so i am reluctant to drag myself away …still..i probably shall keep going..

I had meant to start on jan 1 but…somehow..jan 1 eluded me..january 2 seemed to fly by as well…so..here we are on jan. 3… nevertheless..i try to use this challenge to paint every day for an hour or so…quick warmups..which, if i like the start, i can always go back and work on it later…it is a good discipline1
