Two years ago I attempted my first 30-in-30 which is to paint 30 paintings
in 30 days. Each day you paint, photo,
blog and post to the group website where hundreds of artists have joined in the
challenge. It is a ton of work, but made
slightly easier by getting organized ahead of time (okay thinking about it does
NOT count). The challenge starts on
September 1st so a good time to wrap up the summer and get energized
for the next season. Hopefully just what
I need to get back into painting more frequently and consistently. It is a ton of work, frustrating at times, but quite fulfilling. The hardest part is deciding what to paint, so that's where most of my prep work has been focused.
As karma would have it, one of the paintings I did for the earlier
challenge suddenly sold last Friday! I
love it when someone strolls through my gallery looking for something to have
as their own. Feels like they were destined
for each other, just waiting for the right time and circumstance.
So, I’m taking that as a sign to get it together and step up to the challenge. I also just noticed that the last painting in this blog was the 100th one I posted on DailyPaintworks. Not in a million years would I have thought that was possible. Wish me luck. Below is the collage of the paintings from two years ago. The last one in the third row, Pretty in Pink, is headed off to Meeteetse, Wyoming!
