Whoa, Really?! How can we be at the midpoint already?
The results are in. The February 2022 30-Day Creative Gathering was a triumph of spirit. Roughly 665 pieces of art were created. Many in our group have been doing a bi-annual painting challenge since 2013. Bravo! We added a handful of new members.
Welcome creatives!
I am so honored to be among the talented creators in this group. You are inspiring! Your desire to learn, your commitment to growth and experimentation. Your kind generosity with fellow members. Congratulations to all, on your amazing, creative journey!
Thank you for granting permission to display your wonderful works. Here, and on the Pinterest group board. I will have the images pinned in the next day or two. Be sure to check back for the stunning gallery. 🙂
I know you will admire the stunning work accomplished in the gathering. All work is copyright of the artist and may not be copied or shared in any way with out their written permission.
Take a seat, grab a cup of java. Realax, and enjoy!
Thank you for taking the time to view the artworks.
I hope you enjoyed them as much as I have.
No surprises here. Flowers and Cacti. Cacti and flowers. I have a tiny sliver of Sap green left in my palette. Made it to the end, by the hair on my chinny, chin chin. 🙂 I am very happy with the work I produced. Hallelujah!
I’ve been hoping and praying for precipitation all month. You would never know it by looking at these sunny settings. The influence of the warm desert air no doubt.
This event kicked off our fourth year of the gathering. We welcomed many new members, a great way to begin! There were over 665 works of art created in our international group this month. An abundance of light being sent out into the world! We have members in England, Canada, Spain, Hungary, Australia, France, and Scotland. And of course from all over the US.
I worked in several small series this month. Cacti, wildflowers, abstracted flowers, potted plants, and my simplified floral still life. Each day what I sat down to paint was posted for viewing. Only one early painting failed so badly that I had to start over. There are two that made me cringe when I posted them. A few others I thought were mistakes, but they received the most comments. Proving again, I am not always a reliable judge of my work. 🙂
Below are my favorites. You can clearly see why my sap green is depleted. Haha. I always love hearing what your favorites are. One reason I number my collage.
Which did you like best, and why?
I am so grateful to have you follow along this month. Your encouragement and considerate critiquing will stay with me long after the challenge has ended. I pushed myself, because I did not want to let myself down. I did not want to miss participating. But I confess, I was reminded each day how many of you prayed for me (are praying). I did not want to let you down either.
You are the wind beneath my wings! Thank you, my friends!
In a few days, I will share art and collages from the many who took part in this round of the Creative Gathering. We are fortunate to have so many gifted artists, who work in a variety of mediums and styles. I am so honored to have the opportunity to see their work each day. And learn from their strengths.
You will love a virtual stroll through the Gathering’s Gallery!
