Day 30 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge! Watercolor, 4"x4". Another try at wisteria. I have a long way to go to get the look I want. I have enjoyed experimenting with watercolors, and look forward to doing more and improving.

Color Riot
Day 29 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. Watercolor, 4"x4". Colorful bouquet of flowers--trying to do more color blending and stay loose. Tiny steps.

Purple Onion
Day 23 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. Watercolor, 6"x6". Yikes, I really need practice on watercolor shadows. They're so much easier to do in oil. This poor onion is past its prime, but the green sprouts look so nice on it!

Celebrate! 6x6 oil painting
Day 30 in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge!
Woo hoo! Hurray! Yippee! Celebrate! I made it through the Challenge! Relieved to have made it through, but sorry to not have the push to do it again. I'll be on vacation for a while, but plan to come back ready to paint more, and more often!
Thanks to all of you who have followed this challenge with interest--I've so enjoyed and appreciate all your likes and comments! And thank you to those of you who have bought my paintings--it's a real thrill. This challenge has finally gotten me over the need I used to have to keep all my paintings. I'm over it! I love to paint, so to keep painting, I need to move them out of my house! I plan to periodically post more paintings for sale as I have the time to do them.
And NOW, time to celebrate, with a purple martini, a party hat, balloons, and GIANT confetti! :)

Cheers! 6x6 oil/palette knife painting
Day 15 in 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge
Cheers! Woo hoo! Halfway through the challenge! Had to celebrate with a purple martini. Well, a couple--I had to try different recipes! The usual combination is Blue Curacao and cranberry juice with vodka, but what did I find right next to the Blue Curacao? A purple liqueur! Marie Brizard "Parfait Amour". Made from oranges, like the Blue Curacao. So why isn't it orange? ;) Finished it off with purple sugar sprinkles on the rim.
Tried to make the background "confetti-like" in the spirit of celebration--too busy, I think. Fun painting, and fun celebration!
