Leslie Saeta January 30 Paintings in 30 days Challenge

4 Replies

Happy 2014 Everyone!

I did it. I am doing it. I took Leslie’s challenge again.

I thought I had read somewhere, that it takes six weeks to develop a new habit. But I just did a quick search, and it seems it may only take between 21 and 30 days. So I am good to go on the painting everyday habit, after completing Sea Dean’s December Painting Party.

I have managed to start a few paintings early. Whew!

At last check, there were 365 artists signed on to take Leslie’s challenge. Wow! What a great way to start a creative new year! I am so excited to see all the great art that is going to be born this month!

Day One of 2014

Three more postcards for the Birthday postcard exchange. Sending them all out tomorrow. Some of the December birthday girls will be getting their cards super early. Knowing how hectic this month is, and how forgetful I am, I wanted to be sure the cards made it to their destinations.

Hope you all had a warm and wonderful holiday!

Blackbird, blackbird, what do you see?
Blackbird, blackbird, are you watching me?
Blackbird, blackbird, sitting so high.
Oh how I wish, I too, could fly.

I am so pleased with how this turned out. I had planned on doing a solid black silhouette, but the first wash took me in another direction. This is my first little bird. I like him so much, I am going to have a hard time gifting him for the Birthday postcard swap.

Hope you are having a super day!
