Jan 31 2014 ·1What a way to jump start the year artistically: attempting to paint 30 Paintings in 30 Days!
I have been listening to Leslie Saeta and her podcasts on Artists Helping Artists for well over a year now. I have long been intrigued by the concept of her 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge. Prior to each new Challenge, Leslie shares an outline on how to prepare for the month. Her plan includes the obvious:

Jan 30 2014 ·0This painting is based on a Ralph Lauren ad campaign that I loved this past Fall. I can’t believe this is my last painting for the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge! Whew!
Tomorrow I will post my thoughts as I reflect back on this experience and also collage of all my works (if I can figure out how to do that!).

30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge
Jan 02 2014 ·1I may not be fully back in “real life” mode yet but I am getting back into painting mode. I’ve decided to kick off 2014 by participating in the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge hosted by artist Leslie Saeta.
The purpose of the challenge is to encourage artists to paint more regularly as well as to develop great painting habits and skills. It is with the belief that if I paint more consistently I will improve that I am undertaking this challenge. I will be sharing each of my 3o paintings here on the blog.
