Country Roads. 4.25 x 8 watercolor on Arches 140 lb. cold pressed paper. © 2016 Sheila Delgado
How do I know God wants us to smile? Because he lined the country roads with wildflowers. Yellow, purple, white, and blue. Some stand tall, together yet apart. Others huddle close as if sharing a secret.
Some of the challenge artists are sharing secrets. About themselves, their work, or their subjects. I think we all are standing tall. Dedicated to a common goal. Working together, even though we are apart.
Leslie has her reasons for hosting the challenge. She wants us to have fun, paint more and get our art out into the world. I think the true blessing comes in the friendships we make.
Thank you Leslie, for all the hard work you put into this event! To all of my 30 in 30 friends old and new…
Thanks so much for dropping by, taking a look, and letting me know what you think. I know we usually give thanks at the end of this artsy month. But each day I am so grateful to hear from you… just wanted to let you know.
Treat yourself to the Day 17 art on Leslie Seata’s 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge!
My Pinterest board for the event is bursting with almost 900 works of art!

You are missed this time around Val! But I am so glad you are following along, and stop by to say hello. 🙂 It really is a treat to see so many wonderful works each day 🙂
And I am so grateful for you. You reach out and encourage with the sweet way you have with words. What a gift you have of brightening everyone’s day with your comments and your paintings. Thank you, Sheila. <3
Thank you Karin, I count you among my treasures 🙂
Sheila, YES! I remember I joined the 30in30 for the first time in Sep 2015, thinking only about the art angle, having no idea I would make friends from all over the place—those friends? THE BEST! Thanks for putting words to the experience and the gratitude.
I’m especially loving the beautiful little patch of fertile ground in your painting today : )
Such a nice surprise wasn’t it Dotty!? Your art has been a joy in my life since the day I found you 🙂 Glad you like the “dirt”, ha ha ha. I just feel the need to include those colors. Still painting with the colors I used for my big sunflowers. 🙂
What wonderful thoughts!!! I am also so thankful and grateful for the opportunity to first create more and meet new friends. We don’t have many wild flowers at the end of the summer. They start after the first rains hopefully soon. Beautiful painting, always love your yellow/orange flowers!!! make my day!!
I love your work Carol. Your postcard is still one of my favorites 🙂 I have so much fun with yellow, so glad to hear you enjoy them too! enjoy your day and happy sketching to you!
