In 2019, I ventured to attempt to paint an 8 x 10 stretch canvas using oil paint every day for a year. I made it to about June before exhaustion from my steady employment at the time became too much for me even to come up with ideas.
These are mostly independent pieces, with the exception of a few series that came out like storyboards, such as April Showers and Fish Tale. These stories were itching to emerge from my imagination. If not published, I may someday post them on their own in BW’s Stories page. Keep a watch over that page for short stories and daily yarns.
I am missing quite a few photos of these dailies. This is why there are gaps. As I gather a better library, I’ll fill in the gaps. Thank you for your patience.
