Playing catchup on the progress of my The 100 Day project. Paintings of trees and the story of a day on the life of an artist.

Day 10-20 on The 100 Day Project. You have to break a lot of eggs to make an omelet. Perseverance pays off in the creative practice of painting from my gut. Finding a process that works for me brings beautiful results.

Day 1-10 of THE 100 Day Project by Artist Marita Gentry. A lot of joy, but sneaky doubt and learning to keep painting.

Marita chooses “Unapologetic” as her word for the year and sets clear perimeters for The 100 Day Project. Every ten days she’ll share progress updates, keeping the work rooted in authenticity and play. Her intention is simple: make art that feels true and fun, and trust that those who resonate with it will find it meaningful. Follow along as Marita embraces bold choices, creative freedom, and the confidence to create without compromise.

You don’t need a big budget to start collecting meaningful art—just an open heart and a curious eye. Begin with affordable artist prints, trust your taste, and let your collection grow alongside you.

A pictorial journey to the places where I find inspiration and rest.

New perspectives bring growth and inspiration to a new series.

Waiting is hard in life and in creativity. But through time and experience I have found that waiting can be a gift.

Failure…it’s an ugly word, or is it? Learning to accept and let go of creative endeavors that don’t bring me joy.

Finding tiny bits of joy in January, but moving on to February.

Celebrating the everyday moments of a creative life.
