Simple Starts

Thinking these must be starts. Incomplete abstracts. I have a few ideas of what I might do next. We will see if those ideas are still alive tomorrow, or if they are replaced with new ones. Used a palette knife to spread the paint. Getting more practice in.

I meant to add texture while the paint was still wet. As you can see I completely spaced it.

I signed up for a free workshop with Laly Mille. Follow the link for more information. I am looking forward to it. I am sure it will help keep my momentum going.

Right. Time to announce the giveaway recipients. I had a friend choose 10 Numbers between 1 and 30. And from the comments on those days, I took each name, wrote them on a slip of paper, and put them in a bowl.

From the bowl I choose ten names. I mixed the names up each time I took one out. Several names were drawn multiple times. Thanks you guys for being regular visitors!

In the sense of fairness, I replaced multiples with new names. Better to spread the bookmark wealth around. LOL.

Drum roll please!

Can you believe that someone recorded
this drum roll to fill 10 HOURS of video??

And the Bookmarks go to:

If you can read your name…. just kidding,

Laurelle, Val, Judith, Christine B., Christiane,
Carol E., Sea, Dotty, Martine, and Laurie!

Congratulations!

The bookmarks will be cut from these four paintings. Leave a comment with your first and second choice, and your mailing address. I will delete the address before posting the comment. I already have some of your addresses from the postcard mailing. If it hasn’t changed, you are good to go!

Thanks again everyone for taking the time to follow along with my daily September posts. Your encouragement, and inspiration is very important to me!

September 2017 30 Paintings In 30 Days Review

I had fun with this month’s challenge. Had a rocky start with site crashes, comments going down, and then a road trip interruption. All of that seemed to make the month fly by. I never felt that third week are-we-there-yet dread kick in. Blessings in disguise. Seems to me the start of January’s challenge was rocky too. Maybe I should just expect rocky,

I botched Day 2. I was happy with it. Then the last step. Wreck. It was late, and I needed a replacement to post PDQ. And that is how the first abstract came about. Simple as that. I didn’t plan to do others, but the colors called me.

Most popular days by views: 8, 11, 6, 16, 30, 5, 20, 14, 13, and 12. In that order. Only three of those are on my favorites list. What do I know?

Big thank you to Leslie Saeta for hosting yet another fantastic event! My heartfelt thanks to each of you who took the time to visit me here. Who follow my artistic journey. Our conversations mean the world to me. I am so grateful to have found this community, and I cherish every one of you! For your encouragement, your guidance, your inspiration,

Thank You!

Giveaway alert! I would love to send out 10 bookmarks. Random drawing from your comments. I am going to have a friend choose 10 numbers between 1 and 30. The names from those days will go into a bowl, and the recipients selected from there.

I am going to cut the bookmarks from these paintings:
