Blustery day, and the light came and went quickly. For a moment, the sky and hills were nearly the same color. The fields and trees glowed against the somber landscape.

Tore through the first attempt. Note to self. If you are going to rip up a painting, wait until the paint dries. Especially if that painting is in indigo.

Treated to a late lunch today, new restaurant. Still discovering new favorites in town. Later, my annual slice of cherry pie. All is right in Sheila’s neck of the woods.

Thanks everyone for your well wishes. So kind of you to take the time. Happy creating to you! So in awe of the work everyone is posting!

Take a peek at everyone’s day five!

I forgot to stop and scan, so this starts about half way through the process. This is the card I spoke about yesterday, thought it was going in the wrong direction, to the land of yuck. I wanted to start something new, but I forced myself to try to salvage it. I may have gone to far, added too much. I am happy with it. What do you think?

I saw a little fish at the bottom, so I added another, didn’t want it to be lonely. Then I saw the tail of another, on the left side.

Join in the fun! My friend Sea Dean has invited all challenge participants to also post their daily paintings on her blog. She is giving prizes to the most active artist, AND to the most active voter. You can vote for three artists each day. That includes me, of course.

Leslie Saeta is the host of the painting challenge. Check out her site for a fabulous art show!

My Pinterest board for the event is filling fast! I am a couple of days behind and already there are 170 amazing paintings pinned. (Wish I had time to pin them all.)

Snow is finally gone! It’s official. Snow was on the ground for five days! Remember that the next time you are on Jeopardy! Might be the Daily Double!
