Can I say it. Already looking forward to Leslie’s January challenge. I know, I am nuts. But there it is. It’s not just about the painting. It’s about the conversations.
Still kind of blowing me away. I felt successful this month, more often than I didn’t. That’s a big change. I hope it sticks.
Tomorrow the challenge artists will each share a collage of their work for the month. So fun to see the paintings together. I did not have a theme in mind at the beginning, but a few seemed to develop as the month went on. They are subjects I will continue to explore.
Here is the side-show I promised. Thought a good name for this would be “A day in the life of Mingus”. But these were taken in the space of an hour. Really loving these partly cloudy days!
Mingus Montage.
Treat yourself to the Day 30 art on Leslie Seata’s 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge!
My Pinterest board for the event is bursting with over 1500 works of art!
