Slate-Colored Junco. 4"x4". Watercolor

Day 4 in Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. 

This is one of my favorite birds only seen in Georgia in the winter at our feeder--he shows up really

well in the snow.

  I've been traveling, and look forward to getting back home in my studio, where I hope I'll have better results with more supplies, especially better watercolor paper.

Over the River and Through the Woods. Watercolor 4"x4" on Canson coldpress 140lb paper

Day 1 of Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge, January 2015. I did this challenge in September, all oil paintings on 6"x6" panels. This time I'm going to try watercolor.Today I did a 4"x4" watercolor. I'd like to get better at this medium, and thought this would be a good way to practice. Wow, do I need practice.  There will be some real amateur-looking paintings here, but I hope after 30 days I'll see an improvement. This is on Canson cold press paper that I've had for a while.  I don't really like the texture--too smooth, and doesn't seem to absorb water well.  Will try more with it, maybe soaking the paper first.

Framed Peppers

Framed the pepper paintings and hung them in the kitchen above the pantry door. Brings a nice spot of color in.

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! :)
