50 for $50 Series

i've decided to do a "50 for $50 Series" while in the keys. i'll do at least 50 daily size paintings while i'm down there, and sell them for $50 to the first one to email me for it after its posted online.
It'll be first come, first served based on the time stamp on the email
the dailys from the keys were extremely popular last year, so i decided to commit to doing 50 of them!
thats almost one every day that i'll be there. sounds daunting when i say it, but since i love to paint so much it sounds fun, and i cant wait to do it!

Have fun in the Keys Mike! My family lived in Florida for a year when I was 17. I was there a few years ago for a cruise, but I need to get back down there for a painting trip because there are some beautiful scenes. I really love Key west and that whole area. It's a painters paradise!

Mike, after two months there... you're gonna be ruined! Ha!

Sound like a great time and a great challenge... might have to grab a Rooney original myself.

Have a blast while you're there, man! Catch up with you soon.

doug-i want to hone my skills on this series. try out my "chops" so to speak. large brush, direct paint strokes, thick paint which will MAKE me be decisive.all this will help my bigger work in the end. anything you do a hundred times will make you better! when i get back from the keys i'm gonna go hang out in ocracoke. thats if i come back :D
maybe i'll run into you over there on my other fave island! see you then. wish you would get one you like.... daddy gotta buy baby shoes from this trip! LOL
