100 Alla Prima Still life Oil Paintings in 100 Days by Julie Cane
In 2020, I set out to challenge myself with both artistic and personal goals. I decided to create 100 alla prima still life oil paintings in 100 days, aiming to capture the beauty of nature. Alla prima painting, which involves completing a painting in one session, had always been an ambition of mine. I chose this challenge to refine my skills, create easily shippable works, and produce paintings within a couple of hours. However, some pieces took up to eight hours to complete. All but the first and last paintings feature subjects from the natural world. The unexpected global pandemic added a layer of difficulty, leading to the cancellation of my planned exhibition and additional stress from fear, homeschooling my two children, and limited subject availability due to lockdowns. This challenge became more demanding than I had anticipated. I hope you enjoy the collection. Please see the 100 Days Frequently Asked Questions Page for details about size, format, presentation, shipping etc. or please contact me, I would love to help :-)
