“How we spend our days is, of course, how we spend our lives.” – Annie Dillard

Almost everything I need to say about the discipline of A Painting a Day is expressed here On Painting: apaintingaday. by Duane Keiser who is credited with inventing the whole concept in 2004. Nowadays, there is even an ebay guide to collecting these small artworks. While I am very attracted to it for the reasons described by Duane, I also want to be free to create work over longer or even shorter periods, not just one day, for example the series I am making on Kayakoy. My Daily Paintings will be here but I will post others too.

I’d also like to thank Duane Keiser for introducing me to Annie Dillard.
