52 paintings in 52 weeks, by Dan Kitchener on Jan 5, 2015 13:38:01 GMT 1, So I am painting one piece per week, inspired and based on my weekend long runs. I will paint 52 pieces in total and at the end of the year will collate them all together for a gallery show, where all will be for sale and all profits will go to charity! The paintings will track my running through different locations, times of day and countries, and will create an interesting visual timeline through the seasons
Here's my first two, even though we're only one sunday into 2014, i have created two as i felt so creative!
This year i will be running in 12 marathons or ultra marathons from Jan 2015 to Jan 2016 where my final event will be a 50 mile Ultra Marathon. My first is Tokyo marathon in February, so excited to be going back to my favourite city in the world!
I will running all of these for charity, details of which I will be detailing soon, alongside ways you can sponsor me and help out, hopefully the culmination of all this running and painting will allow me to raise an enormous amount for charity!

Maybe it is the digital medium, but the move from an urban setting makes your work almost quite 'Hockneyish'.
Lovely stuff.

As well as selling them at the end of the year, why don't you do a print run of some of them to maximise the ยฃยฃยฃ from them, whilst in return increasing your fanbase and obvious talent to us humble folk?
Best of luck in the marathons btw

52 paintings in 52 weeks, by Dan Kitchener on Jan 5, 2015 20:10:23 GMT 1, The final show may well have prints of the most popular paintings from the year, that's very possible, although my aim is to paint these on canvas, at a very affordable price anyway, i'll work out details for the show much later this year,

Likewise.
Great pieces so far Dan. If they're all this standard then selling 52 won't be a problem.

Next weekend will be the monster 20 mile run on Sunday. As above thats a stunning piece, very dramatic, lots of energy and ive a soft spot for brushwork, would love to see it up close. Can the works be held before the show or is it first come first served?
