We’re here! The halfway point. I have to say, I’m feeling very accomplished. After months of not painting. I now have a nice little collection. A collection I am happy with.

Out of the fifteen, there are only two that I wanted to make changes to. And I did. Day 3 and day 6. In challenges past, I would have felt I had more”bad” paintings at this point. I have noticed that I am stressing less over the outcome.

This next week is when it usually gets difficult for me. I am interested to see if that will be true again. Or if the last half will pass as quickly as the first.

    I am glad you have been happy with your work so far and am sure this lucky streak will continue. I have one suggestion about the painting with the white flowers – most of the leaves seem to be angled the same way so if you could add a couple of the light green leaves on the left side of the flowers pointing to the left I think it would make a nice balance.

      You are absolutely right Val. That has been bothering me as well. I did a quick fix, but it still bugged me. Don’t know how I ended up with them all the same direction. I am also not happy with the green. So next month I will tackle a real fix on those. Thanks Val 🙂 For confirming my suspicions. LOL 🙂
