Week one of Leslie Saeta’s September 30 Paintings In 30 Days is over. It was a struggle for me. Maybe I was trying to hard. The other artists taking part in this challenge are so very talented.
I managed to stay loose on this one, and did not overwork it. I didn’t even sketch it in first. I thought maybe that would help me to work faster and I do think it helped.
I have a recipe for a grilled cheese sandwich made with Brie, thinly sliced pear, and mustard on whole wheat bread. Doesn’t that sound delicious?

You have to think about printing them on mugs, aprons and all that, you know, Sheila?
I think I am going to use a few of them at Spoonflower, for Pillows. I may not have time to set them up until next month though. I can do an apron and mug at Zazzle… good ideas Lucy! Thank You 🙂
Hey There Sheila,
That is pretty cool that you didn’t sketch this one first! Way to go!! Your pears are absolutely beautiful, and they are going to look awesome on a wall !! I can just see it now. I love the soft colors you choose, too, Their shapes are great.
Congrats on finishing the first week! I say “Hooray, We did it.”.
Happy Painting.
Good luck on Day #9.

Hooray to you too Joan! I can’t wait to see what you create this coming week – Enjoy!
Beautiful brush work and colors Sheila! I’m still not finished with mine! :-0
