Day 5

A snowy January day is the perfect time to paint some colorful flowers. This painting is 4X6", acrylic

and the 30 day challenge continues......

Day 4

On Day 4 I did a small 2.5 x 3.5" painting. This size painting is called an ACEO - an Artist trading card.

Autumn - Hay Bales 

This is acrylic on stock. 

Day 3

or should we call it Night # 3?
A nocturne inspired by the the Village of Peninsula which sits at the bottom of the valley on the Cuyahoga River.

This painting is 8x10, acrylic

Day 2

"Grape Day"  today's painting is brought to you by the color purple - and there are so many shades. I wanted to concentrate on reflections and highlights. It is 5x7" 

Day 1

The first day of the 30 day challenge - an ACEO I call " Double Trouble" 

Maybe an odd choice for a sunny winter day but it's where the muse led me. 

An ACEO is always 2.5 x 3.5"

There's nothing like starting the New Year off with a challenge! No, I'm not talking about resolutions here. But a commitment to do something- in this case to paint a picture a day for 30 days. And in making this a public commitment I'm making it harder to back out.
So starting Janaury 1 I'm joining Leslie Saeta  and hundreds of other artists around the world in a painting challenge.

I'll post the paintings here. Now I'm off to get my supplies ready!

Table Top

My friend Mary Kay Haneline teaches art to children in her Hudson studio. She had the absolutely brilliant idea to invite some of her artsy friends to paint right on the table so the kids would have examples in front of them. I am lucky enough to be one of those friends!

                                    

And this was my contribution to the table. Mary Kay added the gold scroll work frame.
