Leslie Saeta January 30 Paintings in 30 days Challenge

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!

Spending time with family today, so this was completed in about fifteen minutes. Could be better. Could be worse. What it is, is done. And sometimes that is enough.

I had fun trying to paint loose and wet. Still need more practice – Yea! More painting!

Hope you’re having a spectacular day! For your enjoyment, a little music. Come join the party!

I love making gingerbread cookies this time of year. I usually just make them small and round, bite size. And I am admitting right here for you all – I buy ready-made dough. First I slice the roll as directed. I then cut the slices in half, and then in half again. That way you get more cookies! I roll them between my palms, into little balls. Gingerbread can take me right back to those carefree days of childhood.

Take a look at the great art being created for Sea’s party.

A few moments of joy for you – I Pray on Christmas.
