Charley Parker with lines and colors is amazing. Day after day, his highly detailed posts never fail to entertain me. I’ve featured Charley before, but no matter, he’s a wealth of knowledge. And besides, I wanted to share his inspiring article, Painting A Day Blogs.
From Charley: Back in December of 2004, Virginia artist and teacher Duane Keiser started the terrific practice of painting one small (usually postcard size) painting every day (as far as I know, starting with the painting of the baseball above). At the same time, he started a blog on which he would post an image of that day’s painting. … Since then, a number of other artists have begun to keep this kind of routine as well (I regret to say I’m not among them). Not only is this an excellent discipline for any painter or visual artist, it may be financially beneficial as well.

Thanks for the nice mention, cat. You’re a fine one to be talking about consistently entertaining posts, though. I’m constantly surprised at how many talented designers, illustrators and photographers you manage to find and showcase; and how you manage to abstract the essence of their blogs in your features.
Hi Charley, kudos back to you. I honestly wish I had your energy to create the lengthly and well thought out posts you do. Reading your blog is a daily education, so here’s hoping you’ll turn it into a book someday (an e-book?). I’d certainly buy it!
