A PAINTING A DAY

A PAINTING A DAY arose out of the observation that human creativity can take the path of least resistance at times. And given the choice between painting and not painting, the later often wins. A PAINTING A DAY is the pursuit of "trying" to create a piece of art every day. These are done usually with thick paint and a pallet knife....if one every interests you, shoot me an email at matt@hirsheimer.com and I will be glad to ship it to you for $100 ($150 framed), no questions asked.

Chinese Take Out and Gum Balls - from Guest Celebrity Artist


My daughter rocks as a painter only she is often too busy to block enough time to create.

During the recent Nor-Easter, with nothing much to do but be drenched by rain, Brooke paid homage to the left over cartons from Friday’s take out. She has an eye for the unique and the subtle differences between light and shadow.

This painting is relatively small at 8” x 8” and is done with a palette knife and thick paint



Normally she paints with a brush, like on her recent painting, which was huge – 3 feet by 4 feet –of tennis balls in a gumball machine.
