#007 Candle

Power cut this evening so, it's like Victorian England here, lucky I charged my iPod up so I can bring you this; our light for the evening.

#006 The Moon

The moon behind the building that I teach my evening classes in (last one of the term this evening) the band of light is the roof with a light on it.

#005 Crafty Bird

This little birdy beauty adorns the notice board in my office at work and watches me as I work with his beady eye. Made for me by Willem, great artist but not much work available yet to see as he's only 6, this is an early piece circa 2008.

#004 Apple Core and Pencil

I did some drawing and ate an apple, I love a food narrative painting!

#003 Kitchen Floor

These two small pieces of pepper fell from the chopping board when I added them the the pan for my chilli. The other bits are general kitchen floor waste, annoyingly I only cleaned it this morning bah!

#002 My Mouse

Been at work today, which can be a heady mix of art, paint, email, forms and mice use!

#001 Tube of Paint - Year Four

A new begining then. I am a little amazed that I have just started my fourth year of daily painting. And still havent missed a day (apart from the one day when I forgot to post but I still painted!). I never thought I would keep it going for that long.. And I already have a pretty good idea what I will do next year.......

But back to this year. The theme is a little bit different this time, I am going to be making 366 (2012 is a leap year!) digital ipod/ipad paintings, these will be available as prints so keep an eye out for more info on that once I have done a few of the paintings (or are they drawings?).
I have started the year of digital pictures with this, one of one my favourite tubes of paint; Carmine Lake. I see it as a sort of handover picture, from real to virtual colour. But dont worry I will still be making real paintings...

#365 Vintage Tin

Finished the third year of Dan Young, Daily! Woohoo! This is one of Debbie's birthday birthday presents there were lots of patterns to choose from. Tomorrow a new digital journey will begin tune in for more daily picture fun, thanks for your company these last three years!

#364 Handbag

The second to last of this years daily details is a small part of Debbie's new handbag. Tomorrow is the last day of this years style and is also Debbie's birthday, neat eh?

#1092 (#363) Cold Pack

This painting is a reminder to ice my thumb, unknown injury but it hurts like the devil himself is poking his trident into it (the devil has a trident, right?) when I bend it too far and, worst of all, when I paint! Only two more paintings till the Doctor Who style reincarnation happens.....

#1091 Ball of Wool

I always think that wool and thread are a little bit like paints, exciting and colourful.

#1090 (#361) Bottle of Beer

Relaxing after a hard days painting and tea drinking with a well earned beer. Also, there are only four more paintings left of this years daily details. I can't wait for next years daily doings!'

#1089 Brown Paper

Brown paper wrapped up in string, sounds good doesn't it?

#1088 Butternut Squash

This one, from our allotment has some cracking on the skin but most of them are huge!

#1088 Loo Roll II

I thought I would concentrate on the 'business end' of the loo roll today.

#1087 Toilet Roll

I have definitely used this everyday and probably for all three years of the project.

#1086 Foam and Cotton

I like the way cotton strands seem to stick to everything this is a piece of that blue foam stuff with two such errant strands of thread running across it.

#1084 Wallpaper

This is the wallpaper in my studio, it is a three dimensional bubble pattern. So far I haven't been tempted to pop any of the bubbles, like you do on bubble wrap!

#1083 New Shirt

In this case I think the shirt is better than the painting!

#1082 Wholemeal bread

I've painted white bread his year already but Wholemeal is better for you!

#1081 CD

This is one of my favourite Albums can you guess what it is... I reckon some of you will have a better idea than others!

Also sorry for the messed up numbering over the past few days this is number 1081 of the entire series and number 351 of this year. Not long to go till the project style changes!

#1080 Zip

You can't quite see the zip on my top here, you also can't tell that I have painted it upside down due to painting it while wearing it!

#1079 Egg and Lime

If you want to know why I've painted an egg and a lime, you'll have to ask my evening class or enroll on next years 'introduction to painting' course at the University of Gloucestershire!

#1074 Saucer

This is a blue saucer from Debbie's Grandma's Harlequin tea set, just one of the treasures from loft clearing at the weekend.

#1073 Picalili

One of the highlights about visiting Debbie's Mum and Dad is bringing back a big ole jar of Picalili!

#1068 My Wallet - delayed post from Wednesday!

Dear reader/friend/follower please accept my sincere apologies for not posting this picture on Wednesday, rest assured that this painting was painted on that day so, my record is still intact! Not that the Guinness World Record people are interested anyway!

#1072 Duffles

These are Paddingtons duffles found while clearing out Debbie's Mum and Dads loft

#1072 Guitar Case Lining

Every now and again one of these daily details needs to be bigger, I want to paint the entire lining from my guitar case ooooo plush!

#1071 An Unnaturally Square Piece of Rock

I think this came from Sand Bay we collected it due to its amazing straight fault lines almost as if it was man made.

#1071 Guitar Case

Yup, evening class tonight and late home so, I didn't need anything too complicated to paint. So, I haven't.
