No. 3 & 4 Paintings for 30 day Challenge - Baseballs

Baseball #1

I have drawn many baseballs over the years. My son played baseball, so we had lots of baseballs laying around the house.  So I decided to try to paint one or two with oils.  I thought that I would  paint two small 4x4 canvases with baseballs, so they could be displayed together. I am thinking I need a third one, but that will have to be another day.  These two still need some touch ups. I need to darken the shadows on each ball. Also, Baseball #2 is not quite round enough, so I need to adjust that too. But I need the paint to dry some before I can do that.  But for now, I will post these for the 30 paintings in 30 day Challenge.

Painting 2 of 30 Paintings in 30 days

Playing catch up!  I've done 3 more paintings for the Challenge, but here is #2.  I'll post 3 and 4 in another post.  Plus I have a few touch ups to do with 3 and 4. This one was very fun to paint.  I haven't drawn or painted very many cats, so I wasn't so sure before I started, but I like the way it turned out.
So here is "Einstein".  Oil on Canvas, 6 x 6 inches.

Well this is a first for me. I committed myself to paint 30 paintings in 30 days. This is definitely going to be a challenge.  But I did it for Day One! This one is my 'grand dog'.  Dogs may be a common subject in this challenge. It was fun, but I may need more dogs for subjects. I may need to go visit the shelter or some friends with dogs.
