A Photo a Week Challenge: Just for Fun

What am I doing for fun these days?

I'm stalking safety cones!

That guy is doing a great "Tony Soprano getting his newspaper in his bathrobe" impersonation.

What am I doing with said captures?
I Waterlogue them!

Waterlogue is a super fun app that converts photos into watercolors. Worth every penny!

See more of my Safety Cone Series on Instagram. I try to post a new one every day.

Linking up with Nancy Merrill's Photo a Week Challenge

Eat Your Veggies, Tomato Edition

I'm doing one of those "Post 5 Artworks..." challenges on Facebook [find mine here], and I thought I'd make it more complicated for myself by making blog posts with the art. Each day a different blog. [Yes, I have 5+ blogs. Ack!]
The Glutton's Progress was the second blog that I started, in April 2009. It began as a venue for a fake journal project. Over time, it has morphed into a lifestyle blog. You'll find food adventures, older travel pieces, my battle with domestic clutter, etc. Newer road trips now appear on On the Edge.

Here are selections from my Instagram #100daysofgluttony series [link goes to Tumblr]. For 265 days, I shot a picture of food on my iPhone, then used the Waterlogue app to make digital watercolors. Some day I'll make some books with the results.

Jammin with The Glutton

Various jam paintings and prints in my studio: 

3 Peach Marmalade oil on canvas from March 1996 

2 Strawberry oil on canvas from 2002
4 Raspberry digital watercolors on paper from May 2015 

This has been a productive year for my utilization of creative challenges on social media.

An A-Z Blog Challenge lead to a large portion of my recent exhibition at TAG Gallery.
Now I have three pieces in a group show in Claremont that came from an Instagram Challenge.

The challenge is called The 100 a Day Project aka #the100dayProject.

(can't locate source. found it on Instagram)

I decided to do digital watercolors of food using the Waterlogue App, which magically turns photos into paintings.
Little did I know that I would end up doing another series of Jam paintings!

Below are the three that will be in the "All U Can Eat" show, hosted by Bunny Gunner Gallery.
Exhibition is at Garner House Gallery in Memorial Park
840 Indian Hill Blvd, Claremont, CA 91711
Hours open: Saturday June 6th 2pm - 10pm and Sunday 12pm - 4pm.

I'll add a Facebook link for the event as soon as it gets posted.

Plus, I made a new batch of models raspberry jam this morning to get another set into work.
