daily painting day one

I've been busy getting all my planning done for my piano studio as well. I kind of feel like that all I've been doing for weeks. I will be so happy to get back into the swing of teaching every day. I only had my Saturday students continue through the summer so it was definitely not a busy summer. I've got a few new students starting as well as all my familiar faces from the last school year.

September is also the start of another 30 days of daily painting over at Slices of Life with Leslie Saeta. The last few weeks I've actually been pretty good at getting into the studio everyday to paint but have been bad at getting anything posted here. Instagram is SOOOOOO much easier! 

I decided this time around instead of scouring the internet for images to paint from, I would use Chris Hadfield's book You Are Here as inspiration for 30 days of abstract painting. I will post a picture from the book as well as the painting it inspired each day.

Here's day one...Africa
