My darling phone’s cracked screen. 
(Hold up, my blog has emoticons?)
A green forest! Actual forest not that green.
Golf course bunker. I don’t dislike golf.
Not enough time to paint the cactus’ spines.
My cat’s face
OUTLINES! Relapse!
Backpack onna chair
Face needs work
Chapel of the Chimes, outside
VTA bus stop sign
A park-like place near a CalTrain depot
Tree
Another tree
Several more trees. I’m not good at trees.
Shack
Pug in costume. Pandering to the sister.
Quaker Oatmeal Square. Buying the 2-pack box was a huge life event.
Rock wall.
Rock walls are fun.
Halloween. I don’t like spiders, but the ones indoors here are harmless.
I do, in fact, have a horse head mask.
A napkin! How exciting.
Ugliest painted cloudy sunset ever
Got the skin town of this guy down within minutes. Yesssss.
And then totally botched it here.
Had some fun doing a character again
My cat resting on a pile of clothes. Not shown: His bed two feet to the left.
I tried a hood.
Man outside reading a newspaper
A bowl. Something about the “style” is very familiar, but I don’t know what.
New water bottle! Someone thought it was a thermos and poured hot tea in it the first time around…
Majestic Sea Flap Flap. I lied about not painting animals. Geez these are boring without animals or characters.
Being cool with a staff. He’s been watching some movies.
Spent too long trying to fix the underbite to make this actually resemble the lady.
As action-packed a scene I can do.
Buildings are not actually blue-green. But they look nice.
Lone cloud. Still no rain for this drought-parched state.
Tired of painting real stuff, I decided to take a break and do a sentient slug with a goblet.
Bluish mess of wires and paints on my desk.
Ha, I don’t care that it doesn’t look like much, because I freehanded a nicely circular circle.
My neighbor has a funny little “rock formation” (actually plastic) in their window. I’m not sure what it’s for.
A box that isn’t that patriotically colored
Unprimed canvas again – though the brown ground was added before I began the 20 minute limit.
The subject is not Justin Bieber, but it bears a slight resemblance and that annoys me.
Nearby hotel
I’m pretty good at painting humans only if there’s a harsh spotlight on the target.
Rather cute owl Christmas ornament at the store. There were Christmas items on the shelves beginning in September.
Sky is hard. Gosh. No more sky for now.
Sort of a bookshelf.
Vehicles are difficult. They’re so smooth and shiny.
Apartment on a main road.
Let’s call this abstract, shall we? It’s actually food, but I couldn’t focus on the individual pieces.
The cunning use of flags…
I held food in my mouth for 20 minutes. As gross as it sounds.
My aging, cracking sculpture from an animation course. That was a lot of fun to make, less so to paint.
Bus seats at around 11pm. From a photo.
Part of a house. The mistake was not priming the canvas. In my sister’s words, “That’s not a painting…” Also, I accidentally saved the image sideways, and it doesn’t really look much worse turned this way.
Some stately grey building.
A musician guy on request. For this human, I allotted 30 minutes, which was enough time to kill it by slathering on white. What a nightmare.
Slightly less white. Still doesn’t resemble the subject, though. She was not pleased.
Same girl. This one made her lament that she must’ve held a bad pose or wasn’t lit properly.
Dryer brushes this time. Also, more purple.
Intro. I’ve been advised to paint for 20 minutes a day on a piece, no more no less. For the past few months, I’ve learned that the tendency to paint what I’m already good at (i.e. animals) is strong, and my self-control is terrible, so I need something to enforce the painting-a-day.
Thus, I am posting each painting, no matter how awful. I also send pictures to my sister, and if I fail to on a day, I have to go outside and run. It’s a strong incentive to not forget.
I cannot paint buildings, furniture and cars (smooth, manmade stuff). This is part of a building.
Small white dogs are also difficult. Good thing I have one to practice with.
It’s a rectangular light. It’s vaguely light-like. For a while, I couldn’t remember whether I scanned this upside-down.
Wall and cabinet.
My sister requested a pug. I lost her driver’s license. She wants this canvas. I said it’ll cost her forgiveness for the lost license. She has not responded.
Back to boring bedroom.
A French bulldog on request. Someone likes small, wrinkly dogs.
