Most artists will agree that you need to devote at least 30 minutes a day to creating some kind of art. This can be a small sketch, a finished painting, or a preparation for a future artwork. Edward turned this idea into a daily blog in November of 2006, which has now has turned into a wonderful showcase of the progression of his painting over the last two years
"When I started this A Painting A Day blog, inspired by Duane Keiser, in November 2006, I thought I give myself half a year to produce every day a small painting. 600 daily paintings later I am still at it. To paint and finish every day a small painting for this blog, has become part of my everyday life. I would not miss it for anything in the world, that daily exercise. This blog has become my diary – a painted diary. Some of those daily paintings will be sketches used later for larger works, some will just remain a reflection of a moment of the day." - Edward B. Gordon
