30 PAINTINGS IN 30 DAYS - #20

Spring Willow 11 x 14
I have never been comfortable posting paintings before I have time to evaluate them so this challenge makes me feel quite 'exposed'; showing work that is not truly ready to be seen. I have quite a few projects and three spring shows to get ready for, but I might make changes to some of the 30 Day Challenge paintings when the 30 days is over and I have time to evaluate. Some might become larger paintings if I feel the small ones 'worked'. I an interested to know what ones you feel would work as larger paintings.

  1. This is beautiful and so tranquil. I know exactly what you mean by putting them out before they are ready to be scene. I think I will have about 10 out of the 30 that will pass the test after the challenge and I will go back and work on those.

  2. Hi Susan, I couldn't agree more. I've had to let go of some of my inhibitions and just "put it out there" to get through this challenge. In many ways, that's a good exercise as I think we tend to judge our own work more harshly than others do. Your paintings are lovely! Laurie

  5. Muchas gracias, Olga!
    Thanks Sherri and Laurie. Yes I agree, I will rework some, some will be "filed" away. I think I might give myself a new challenge - see my post for 1/26/13 - 100 strokes. This really releases all inhibitions! Fun!
