30 Day Challenge

January 31, 2014

Thank you to Leslie Saeta for doing another 30 day challenge.  If you have the chance, look at this link to be inspired by the work of so many artists.  You can look at their blogs and be inspired all over again.  

I confess to not doing all thirty, maybe only 1/3 of that.  If it were not the challenge, I might have spent the month of January just trying to organize my studio and be distracted by other things. 

Here is my mini-challenge.  I learned how to do collages from Leslie's marketing challenge.  Go to "ipiccy" to make your own. 

 
This month I've been adding more paintings to ETSY and still trying to improve my photos.  At least I stopped using my phone for pictures and use my little camera.  I'm not doing that well on using a big fancy camera.  (the picture of the apples posted  on ETSY recently is one of the worst).  I 'm giving myself a year to improve.

  4. Wonderful set of paintings you got done in January. I especially love the little jar. Very painterly. I think you've gotten an amazing number done, even if not 30. February is my month, I just know it.

    Hope you guys are warm these days!

    1. Thank you, Elizabeth, maybe next month we will get 30 finished. How about a Fredericksburg challenge? Maybe this will be the month we get together for a trip to Eileen's.

      We are waiting for the heat wave, but our furnace got fixed.

  5. I say, doesn't matter how many you completed, when the ones you did do look this good! Gorgeous work, don't they look wonderful all together in your collage?! Maybe we can work together this year to improve our art- photo-taking skills, such a big challenge for me! Best wishes for whatever you do next...
