Day 30 Of 30

There’s a sad sort of clanging from the clock in the hall
And the bells in the steeple too
And up in the nursery an absurd little bird
Is popping out to say, “Cuckoo”
Cuckoo, cuckoo
Regretfully they tell us cuckoo, cuckoo
But firmly they compel us
To say, “Goodbye”, to you

So long, farewell, auf wiedersehen, good night
I hate to go and leave this pretty sight!

Lucky for us, it isn’t really goodbye. Just goodbye to the 30 Paintings In 30 Days Challenge. Until January that is! Do you think you will join again?

Stay tuned, tomorrow I will share a collage of all 30 paintings, and a collage of my favorites. And I will let you know which were viewer favorites.

But wait! There’s more!

I will be doing a giveaway!

If you get a chance, I have a favor to ask. Follow the links to comment, if you tried to, and were unable. Comments were down on the blog for two days, the 9th and the 10th. I think they were down on the 11th and 12th as well, but there are a few comments on those posts. I would be grateful!

Wishing you a JoY FiLLeD weekend!

Two more days. WOW! This challenge went by so fast for me. Not saying it was easy. I just can’t believe it is almost over. Almost think this is a WIP. But for tonight, it is done.

Happy last day eve painting to you!

Had fun with this. So much, that I didn’t even think about the fact that I cut the painting in half. I was going to add more vines. The colors refused to scan right. The background colors do get lighter, but not white. There are three blues in the background, but the difference isn’t visible here. The swirly blooms are a mix of a flesh color, and a very soft pink. They are warmer than they look.

Just a bit of fun.

I worked a bit more on Day 25 as well. I went over the white lines, I think it helped a bit. Added pen as well.
