Mingus Day 1. 5.5 x 12 watercolor on Arches 140 lb. cold pressed paper. © 2018 Sheila Delgado.
Day one of #100DaysOfMingus. Yes, I’ve gone and done it. Judy Jacobs posted an invite. I thought about it for a week, and finally signed up. I have a list of ideas for the 100 day project. Subjects I like to paint. Right up to the last-minute I could not decide what to commit to. Terrible problem I know.
A simple start, because I am already behind. LOL. As with the 30 day challenge, I will paint a day ahead at least. Alternate views, different mediums and techniques. That should help keep boredom at bay.
See ya tomorrow!
Good to hear you’re on a challenge again. Whatever you make of it – 100 days of art work – hope you enjoy! Happy arting!
Thank you Corinne
I will be painting other things in between, I hope. Small sketches at least. So great to hear from you, missed seeing your work 
Yes, it’s great to see your work too! Keep going and I’ll be back to see your art.
Thank you Corinne ;o) See you!
Love your Mingus Mountains! Things are subtle in this painting – the depth you have so delicately created, the textures and lovely sky. I like this palette. Two thumbs up to you Sheila – a hundred days of painting! Looking forward to more!!
Thanks so much Janet. I’m having fun
Love the mountains, great painting.
So glad Lana
Thank you 
Awesome start! I really like the textural-type marks that are in the background mountains, beautiful colors. I will be with you on your journey but vicariously this time. I am painting, but, as usual, each one is taking several days. We are also looking for place to put our roots more permanently and that is so darn difficult and time-consuming. xoxoxo
Consider the high desert Laurelle! LOL
Not as hot as Phoenix, mild winters, close to skiing if you want it. Hiking, nature stuff. Less traffic, lower cost of living… LOL 
so glad you will be with me Laurelle 
I’m really looking forward to this. My favorite subject. Good luck with the challenge and see you tomorrow.
Thanks Sea! So glad you will be following along
Gorgeous, Sheila! You are amazing! Thank you for sharing
So glad you like it Trang
I’m eager to see how you shake up Mingus for a hundred days, Sheila! In today’s post, the straightforwardness appeals to me. Also the way the bottom two ‘stripes’ are roughly complementary, the top two ‘stripes’ roughly monochromatic, the way all three ‘stripes’ kiss lightly in the middle.
I am eager too Dotty
LOL 
Love your description… always a work of word art 
You are certainly a BRAVE girl! 100 days! Great start. Always love your mountains! Stay at least 5 ahead… you need time to photograph/scan post etc.
Hahahaha. What I am hoping for Carol. To get ahead. This weekend I should be able to.
I think you are crazy! That is a lot to commit to doing and just after finishing the 30 day challenge. However, you are off to a nice start. Mingus is always a good subject – right outside your window and always changing. Good luck with this one Sheila!
AAACCK! I know Val!! Made me laugh out loud! I think I am crazy too! Thanks Val
That’s exciting! I’m learning a lot about my craft and vision my doing my 365. Sometimes as much by the failures as the successes!
You are rockin’ it Dave. Amazed and inspired by your dedication!
Proud of you. You will be an inspiration to me. Congratulations
So glad you will be following along Christine
