Painting #6 .. day 16..
Ok.. you are thinking it.. only 6 paintings? LOL.. yep! I have painted every single day so that is a good thing although some days I didn't paint for very long.. I didn't want to burn out too bad but I'm feeling behind to be honest. My personal goal is to paint every single day and at least get to 15 by end of month.. so i better step it up.. YIKES!!

Day 14.. painting #5 in the 30 in 30 painting challenge
Day 14 and only on my 5th painting! Yikes.. yes I need to step it up.. Making a personal goal to get to 15 paintings this month. I have painted everyday this month ,which is wonderful, as I haven't been doing that in way too long...so YAY!
My 5th painting is a Polish pottery still life painting. Cut up kiwi fruit and fork set on a Wiza daisy patterned plate. I love the patten of the pottery being the background of the fruit.. so fun to paint these patterns! I love the vibrant colors in this one.. a fun painting to do!

30 in 30, day 8.. 3rd painting.. Polish Pottery still life
Been a hectic week and I'm behind and I doubt I'll have 30 paintings but I am painting everyday. Monday evening we were watching the Killing on Netflix and my 12yr old made popcorn and I was eating some and broke my tooth!! Yikes! 2 dental appointments and a crown later.. I'm posting my next painting, a Polish Pottery still life.. I'm trying to juggle the pottery still life with the abstracts I'm experimenting with so this will be a fun month.
Enough rambling. Here's my 3rd painting this month.

30 in 30 painting challenge, day 5, abstract painting
Day 5 and my 2nd painting of the month.
I have always loved abstract paintings. I never paint them but I love them. I am really happy with this abstract piece I finished yesterday. Lots of impasto textures, scratches and movement in this painting. Blues, reds, oranges, yellows and whites. I'll be painting more abstracts this month to mix in between my other paintings such as my Polish Pottery still life series.

30 painting in 30 days.. January 2015!
So I signed up on New Years Eve to do the 30 paintings in 30 days painting challenge. It is a big commitment and while I love it.. wipes me out to keep up. Here we are on the 3rd of the month and I'm posting my 1st painting but I didn't start till late on the 1st .. Ok.. I won't give a bunch of excuses but I'm going to get as many of the 30 paintings done that I can and also plan to get farther in my Polish Pottery Still Life Series! One of my paintings in the series will be included in a Polish pottery annual magazine and I really want to get farther in the series as it's been since August that I painted one last. Yikes.
Ok.. enough rambling! I have lots of painting to do! My plan is get farther.. hopefully in the 90's of this series, experiment with abstracts as they are something that I love and want to experiment with those
