Eucalyptus Leaf, front and back. Watercolor on 140 lb. cold press paper. © 2013 Sheila Delgado
A few days ago I began getting ready for the start of what will be my ninth 30 in 30 event. Cutting paper to size, filling my watercolor pans, thinking about a theme. I think I actually have one this year! You will have to stay tuned to find out. (Sure hope you do, LOL) The painting challenge starts next month.
This leaf was day 30 of my first 30 in 30. You can click on the gallery tab above, and visit that first event if you would like. I painted pears mostly. Had fun with those. I was happy with 18 of the paintings I did that month. Not bad, just over half. Gave 7 as gifts.
That includes this Eucalyptus leaf. I loved this painting. Still do. Really enjoyed working on it, and very happy with how it turned out. They are not visible here, but there are little veins and “cracks” where some of the paint settled into the texture of the paper. Happy surprise that.
Looking forward to the happy surprises February might bring!

WOW. nine 30/30 events – good for you Sheila!. Your leaves are super! I can’t wait to see what you do this time.
Aww, thanks for the vote of confidence Val! These will always be one of my favorite paintings. I learned a lot working on them. Hope you are staying warm in your wilderness 😉
Lovely leaves!!! I think it’s my 9th as well! Getting ready but no theme in mind and no materials chosen. We’ll hopefully have lots of fun!
I know I will have fun checking your daily posts Carol 😉 Oh well, no worries. I have started with a theme in mind, and then completely gone a different way. LOL. See you soon Friend!
