January 2015...Collage of Paintings from 30 Day Challenge

Finale Collage

Now that the 30 Day Painting Challenge has ended, I've assembled all the pieces into a collage and have also snuck in a few extras.

I've enjoyed doing this during January and tomorrow, I will begin a new challenge, picking something on a different theme. Fish come easily to me, so I'll see what pops into my head today.

Thank you to everyone who had a look at my daily fish-bombs on facebook and liked and/or left comments.  I'm glad my fish doodles added a small touch of whimsy or fun to someone's day.

January 2015..Day 30 "The Grand Finale" 30 Day Painting Challenge

"The Grand Finale"

The challenge has come to an end (already)!!!!! That was a quick (and fun) 30 days. I thank everyone for following and leaving wonderful comments.

I'll keep painting every day, but will post fishies, etc here rather than fb. I've received many fun ideas and suggestions from people on other topics to illustrate, so who knows what will show up here next. If you have an idea, I'd love to hear it. Please leave a comment....

ps Another big thank you goes to Roxanne Weidele of  River Gallery for introducing me to the magic of liquid watercolors!


 

January 2015..Day 29 "Among the Goldies" 30 Day Painting Challenge

"Among the Goldies"

In this painting, I was thinking about how little guys have a remarkable knack for discovering fun and excitement wherever they go and in whatever they are doing.

To them, the World  offers infinite delightful opportunities  each day for exploring, discovering, and appreciating  new things and experiences.

How have little ones added more fun, sparkle and laughter to your life lately??

January 2015..Day 28 "Fabulous Four" 30 Day Painting Challenge

"Fabulous Four"

I was thinking of friends when I made this little painting. Our similarities draw us together and our differences keep things lively, interesting and fun. Each in our own little world, but coming together to create a special place to share laughs, tears, accomplishments, milestones, dreams, coffee and chocolate ganache filled macarons.
