Here we are. The end of the challenge. And I have to say, February made it fly by. Tomorrow I will share all 30 paintings in a collage. I will share my favorites, and tell you which paintings were the most popular by page views.
See you then!

Just had fun with this. Tried the plastic wrap technique, but I think I laid the paint on too thick. None of the first layer, green, shows through. I rubbed in indigo, turquoise and clay afterwards. I scratched into the wet white, and green is visible. Just not in the scan.
I am happy with this. Trying to decide if it is too plain. If I need some sort of pattern. And do you think I need to add the stem to the bloom on the left? In my mind that stem is curved, and sitting behind the other flower. Oh I know, shadow on the vase?
Here is the texture from the plastic wrap. Sort of like finger prints.
Textured paint.
I tossed slips of paper, numbered 1 – 7 into a bowl. Day #4 was chosen, the 25th. And from day 25, the 7th comment was chosen. (Again, numbered slips of paper in a bowl.) I apologize for not thinking to take photos. Truth be told, painting a day ahead, and everything going on this month has me discombobulated. I did the drawings last-minute.
I am so grateful for your continued support and friendship. Leslie’s challenge is all about building the daily painting habit, having fun and experimentation. What brings me back year after year, is your friendship and fellowship. True blessings in my life!
So pleased to share my art with you daily, and with the weekly giveaway gifts.
Let me know which of these you would like, and I will get it in the mail to you.

We started the day dark and wonderfully dreary.
Mingus stayed undercover.
Right outside my window, snowballs were at the ready.
Where’s Mingus?
Snowballs.
Winter Surprise.
By 2 pm, the sky had cleared.
Late in the afternoon I saw the changing colors, and took these photos.
All within 30 minutes or so. Mingus still has a hint of snow.

Texture sheet (dots), plastic wrap, white paint pen, half moons, sea sponge application of turquoise and Kiwi, smeared thinned Lt. ivory, splatters. Ivory vase, wine /Lt. Ivory mix to contrast vase. (Yes, I know. Mauve. But mauve is so 80’s, hate to say it. ) Like how the color dries, decide to use it for the blooms. (Oh MY God.) Blooms: Layer of thin Ivory, layer of mauve quickly pulled of with paper towel. Wet centers, apply paint, hoping it will spread like day 24. It didn’t. Indigo watercolor to define.
