All 30 paintings together in a collage! :)

Wow! What a month!  Taking a few days off to clean my poor house and catch up with things I've neglected around here.   Clean up my painting area, so I can get back to painting!  I'm going to enjoy a few days off first :)

LOVED doing this challenge!   I will sign up for the 29 faces challenge in February and continue to offer custom pet paintings  at special pricing.   Click HERE if you are interested in a custom pet painting to be in the 29 faces in February :)

Painting #19 in the 30 in 30 painting challenge. Colorado landscape

I rarely ever paint landscapes and my husband really liked this one and says I should paint them more often.  I should.   I painted this from a photo I took in January of the snow topped Pikes Peak mountain in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

Painting #15 of the January 30 paintings in 30 day challenge. Custom dog portrait

Painting #15 (Half way there!!!!!) of the 30 paintings in 30 days January art challenge.   Meet Belle Marie. I got the greatest up close nose reference shot of her laying on a pillow.    My 2nd 'nose style' dog portrait..    Her eyes were fun to paint as she has blue flecks in her eyes.  I have a blue merle collie that also has the merling in the eyes, I can remember looking at his eyes when he was a puppy trying to figure out if it was a reflection I was seeing or what.. but it was the merle in him that gave him those specks.    I got a really fun reference photo for this and this was a fun painting to do!
