This is going to be an attempt at a daily art blog.  I mostly paint in oil but I also am working on my drawing skills so I'm hoping that I can use this to develop some discipline and make some kind of art every day.

I might be a little slow starting out since I have to go across town to access a scanner and my only digital camera at the moment is some crappy Nikon Coolpix, mostly because I'm poor as hell.  I understand that's important if you want to be an artist.  The starting poor part, not the crappy digital equipment.

Anyway, I'm currently copying this painting by William Whitaker for practice.  If it turns out ok in a few days I'll post my copy.  If not, I'll probably paint over it because canvas ain't cheap.
