YEAH, I did it! 31 days in May and I painted every single day! I honestly did not cheat and show you an old painting I did on another day...;-)
This morning I lined them all up, the small ones on paper and the wooden panel ones. This is how it looked:
There are 81 paintings altogether...82, if I count the second Poppy one, which is not in the picture. I donated it already to the art gallery.
And this is number 83, which I did today. I only had about an hour; could have fiddled with it longer, but sometimes deadlines are a good thing...;-)
Yes, it's me! The colours are real hard on my scanner and I don't think I got a very good liking (my nose is not THAT big!), but it was fun to do and I'm happy with it.
Especially as I had already packed all my regular paint supplies for my trip to Riondel tomorrow and had to make do with an old iron and a stylus with a blunt tip instead of a pointed one!
Basic shapes were done with the iron, then some scratching and stylus work.
So, this is the end of it...or is it??
For me it is a beginning: a beginning to realize that I can achieve what I set my mind to, that I can make time for painting.
I learned that there was much which I did not know: Not until you do it, do you know what you don't know...;-)
And honestly: I could not have done it without you! The fact that I had promised to write daily what I had done and about 40 people were expecting a report, was a great motivation. Thanks for your very welcome feedback and encouragement.
Perhaps you'd like to do something similar at one point. Let me know, so I can support you!
Signing off now.....
With warmest regards and many thanks,
a very happy
Thea
