30 Paintings in 30 Days!

30 Paintings in 30 Days!

January 1-30, 2015

(whew!) 

And here they all are....

This has been an exciting adventure for me. I learned to make decisions quickly, paint fast, and mostly to just have fun with it instead of overthinking things. I stretched myself beyond what I thought I was capable of, and I now have 30 brand new paintings that probably wouldn't exist if I hadn't accepted this challenge.

I have some larger painting projects to complete, but will keep up with this exercise of painting daily, and will be posting regularly (but not daily) on my online painting gallery (click here)

Thank you for your continued support!

A Toast To You!

A Toast To You!

Thanks for following my self-imposed "boot camp" daily challenge of 30 paintings in 30 days. I made my goal! Fast & furious, sometimes doing 2 a day just to allow for other commitments (teaching, eating, sleeping...) I promise to keep painting and posting, just not as often. I have a large commission to work on and a couple of larger studio works to be completed. Thanks to those who purchased my paintings, and thank you all for all the uplifting, supportive comments. I have enjoyed this journey. Oh, and here's a nod to my brother who is recovering from successful cancer surgery -- John, remember you almost burned the house down with one of these toasters! : )

Mike's Baby Cup

Mike's Baby Cup

It seemed fitting with my husband's birthday approaching that I paint something to commemorate his early days. This little silver mug was his when he was a baby. It is also the smallest painting in this series.

Tulips Relaxed

Tulips Relaxed

After I completed yesterday's painting, I noticed my silver vase was leaking so I moved the pretty pink tulips into a different vase. When I went to studio today the tulips had relaxed and looked more graceful.
