What a difference a month makes! February flew by. I didn’t feel a loss of momentum until the final week. Being in pain will do that. In preparation for the challenge, I put together a file full of images to paint. I still have enough for another 30 paintings. Haha. Ideas abound. I intended to paint more abstracts. Planned on using Yupo more. Never enough time.
Each time I do the 30-day challenge, I wonder if I “grew” or developed new skills. I can never see it until some time has passed. I did try new subjects. Some that I never attempted before. The Cholla image, day 28, I took in 2012. WOW! I meant to paint it, and it has taken me this long. A little bit, out of sight out of mind. But also fear of painting so many spines. My first Cholla is not great, but it is better than I expected.
Thanks so much for following along this month. I hope I did not bore you with my fascination with pointy things and desert natives. I appreciate your support and enjoy your comments and suggestions. 🙂 Thank you! It means a lot!
Congratulations and high five to the group artists. Whether you did 3 or 30, high five for making the bold attempt. For getting your art out into the world, and for encouraging others on their artistic journey! Thank you for taking part, and for making the group so lively and diverse! You ROCK! Hope to see you in September! HaPpY creating to you!
Bravo ! All your painting fits in this creative month. I will continue to follow your work and I will be ready for your next challenge in September.
Thank you so much Johanne! It was such a joy to see your work in the group! I am so glad you took part and very excited to know We will see you in September! Happy creating friend 🙂
Right back at you all the wonderful things you said in your last paragraph. I loved your cactus/desert/cloud theme. I learned a lot about succulents and cacti from your beautiful art. Of course you grew. We grow and learn in everything we do. Even without knowing it, lessons learned are applied to the next time the situation arises, and so much of art is decision-making, problem solving. Thank you for pushing me, Sheila Delgado. I had so much going on, but because you put this together I made an effort to see everyone else’s art which ended up inspiring me. I did not produce a whole lot, but lots going on this month;) Un abrazo!
Oh, but what you did do was FABULOUS! True, very true, thanks for reminding me Laurelle. 🙂 I am so glad you decided to take part. Seeing your works come to life is always delightful! 🙂 Thank you my friend, hugs! xoxox
