Wind blows cold, alone
they stand, branches reach as if
they are holding hands.

We made it! High fives all around! Yes, that means everyone who took Leslie’s challenge, even if you did not post everyday, or produce a full 30 paintings. Effort counts!

My painting today is another save. Actually I think I started three different times on this canvas. It has been sitting for months in between.

There is a grungy black, mucky mix as the base. I had too much turquoise from a piece I was working on the other day. Can’t waste paint. So I spread it on the canvas with a palette knife. I let it dry a bit, and then made scratch marks. I just now am realizing, I maybe should delineate the trunks that are overlapping.

I started the trunks by dripping paint, for a random placement. Then went back with a brush to add width to them.  The branches and trunks wrap around the sides and top.

Tomorrow all the participants will post a collage of their work. Today, I would like to share the collections I have from this month. There are also some odds and ends, I’ll show those tomorrow in the collage.

Seeing the paintings together like this just reminds me how fast time passes. Too fast! I am so thankful that you followed me through this month. The best part of the challenge is hearing from you! Your kindness and support are true blessings.

I started a Pinterest board at the beginning of this challenge, and I have 550 amazing pins on it! There will be more, as I add collages. You can also see the collages on Leslie’s blog.

Happy October and happy painting!

 

 
 

 

 

 

Day 15 – 30 Paintings In 30 Days

I just read that there are over 1000 artists taking part in Leslie’s challenge. That’s a whole lotta art goin’ on. We are half way through.

Today’s piece is a little bit collage, a little stamping, mostly mark making with paint. Back to the love theme, hoping to create a few more pieces this month for Brad’s upcoming book, “LOVE SAYINGS”.

Unfortunately the copper does not show in the scan. You can make out a few spots against the blue borders. It really adds some oomph in person.

Hope Monday is treating you well!
