Welcome to M.E. BAILEY ART . . . .

Here you will find adventures in painting. . . . Victories, absolute defeats, frustrations, highs, lows, lessons learned, commentary and thoughts from me and other artists.

As an art instructor, I don't wish to hide the fact that I crash and burn often. I will always be learning. So, it all gets shown here . . .good and bad. Every painting we do counts in the learning and experience process. The failures actually are much better teachers than successes. Every piece made is a teacher. That's the fun of it: the challenge to learn.

SEARCH FOR A WORD IN THE BOX TO THE RIGHT: COLOR, VALUE, PERSPECTIVE, IDEAS, MUSE, PLEIN AIR. . .ETC . . . .YOU'LL FIND PLENTY OF PAINTINGS AND IDEAS AS A RESULT. hAVE FUN!

HOT !

"Hot"
oil on linen on panel, 6" x 8"
Getting out of the house to paint on some days just isn't possible. This pepper was in the grocery bag a few days ago and begged to reside on canvas. So I obliged.
This is the last post of the month . . .the 38th post! Frankly, with all the goings on here, I am surprised to have been able to paint as much as I have been. Am looking forward to the next few months to see what comes in my painting explorations. . . .so far, I am very happy to have had this chance. Thanks to all you visitors who stop in, look and sometimes comment. Still looking to put some of these on Ebay . . . .soon, I hope.
Gotta go to work now . . . (yes, I have a jawb!) ;-)

Mike,
Thanks for the ego stroke on my latest painting. I hear what you're saying about getting out of the house to paint too...I'm getting itchy myself. Congrats on #38, I'm looking forward to seeing whats next.
Be good,
Todd
