Thirty Paintings in 30 Days - Day 7 Boothbay Harbor, Maine

 Boothbay Harbor, Maine

Two Mini Original Watercolor's

Purchase Information HERE 

Some of my favorite paintings to complete are mini's. I purchased these little mats a while ago, not realizing how much fun it would be to paint so small. They are the perfect size for my daily paintings.

I can sit on my couch, watch a movie and paint a mini all at the same time - who knew!

I'm a multi-tasker...but you can't tell my 14 year old son that (NO comparison)!

September 2015 Thirty Paintings in 30 Days Collage

Thanks for putting up with all my posts!!!

I just wanted to Thank you for all the likes, share's and support during my 30 day challenge. It's not an easy task finishing a painting daily and you make it so enjoyable for me to post each day with all of your encouragement and sweet comments. I think I look forward to those more than you know! The old saying see it say it! It really means the world to me that my art can make you FEEL something when you look at it.

I'm really happy to share that I've sold over 9 of the thirty paintings already - THANK YOU!!! The rest will be heading to my retailer shops and venues. I've posted them on etsy too - although it's an accounting nightmare once they head out to the shops, so I may be pulling some of them off as they go out.

I will continue to paint daily - but without the added stress of having to complete it!

smile emoticon The holidays are coming and it's the perfect time as an artist to have stock!

Hope to do it all again in January!

January 2015 - Thirty Day Painting Challenge

Yet another great time painting this month! I'll continue to paint daily, but I can't promise I'll finish a painting a day! Make sure to find me on facebook if you haven't already. I'm usually posting there at least once a day.

Stop by and say hello, I'll be at the Portland International Jetport, Maine outside of the Paradies Gift Shop/ DownEast Marketplace for February and March Art Exhibits. If the weather permits... my plan is to travel there at least 4 times a month until the spring/summer season.

 Painting Workshops and events are listed on the right hand side of this blog.

Thirty Paintings In 30 Days - Day 2

Birch Trees - Close up 4x4" Alcohol Ink on Tile
$85.00

This one hasn't been glued in yet or had all the sealing done yet, it will take 10 days to complete, but it gives you an idea of what the finished piece will look like. I'll be painting these mostly during my 30 day Challenge - perfect time to give me the push to stock up on my inventory for the Holiday!

Thirty Paintings In 30 Days - Day 1

$300  12x12" Oil on Cavas

Starting off the 30 day painting challenge with an oil painting - the size is 12x12" and I think I'll go smaller for the rest of the challenge, including doing some watercolor and Alcohol Ink paintings. Once again I have no plan....it gives me the freedom to just paint with my mood.

Here is the original photograph taken at Reid State Park before you get to the beach. It's on the Todd's Point Road. I did some plein air painting there with my mother and our dear friend on Friday and it was the most perfect day all year. A breezy 77 degrees. I'm not looking forward to the winter at all. According to the Farmer's Almanac we are looking at another very cold and snowy winter.

Day 30 "Protector"

Last day of the 30 Day Painting Challenge, and I've had so much fun! To finish it off I painted a rooster. It symbolizes protection, courage and also is associated with kindness as it cares for the chickens. 

He's a colorful bird!

Peacock Feathers Renewal - Happy New Year

"Renewal" - Happy New Year!

It is said that a Peacock sheds its old feathers every year and grows newer, more brilliant ones each year, a sign of renewal! 

In 2014 I plan to paint even more, which was a very good year! I have to share that it was a record sales years in 2013 for me and I even managed to paint over 100 paintings! I'm not sure I could have done that if it wasn't for Lelsie's 30 Day challenge's! So a BIG Thank you to her!

Wishing you all the Best in 2014!

Winter Blue Jay - Bird

I know we are heading into spring now...but I just wanted to share the end of winter with this cute little fellow "The Winter Blue Jay".

He is now enjoying the fresh green grass and maybe working on the new spring nest.  Winter is gone for now...but will be back soon enough.

Hope you all have a terrific day!

Happy Painting

30 Day Challenge Photos

 

Here are 25 of my 30 days - for some reason I couldn't get them all in on the create your own image on PicMonkey this morning...maybe too many artists are doing the same thing :)

Hope you all are having a super Friday - I am wondering how many artists have taken the day off from painting? 

DAY 30 - LAST DAY OF CHALLENGE - "Winter Glow"

 

 "Winter Glow"

5x7 Watercolor/Gouache

Holy Cow...I did it! Day 30/30 of our Daily Painting Challenge.

This challenge was cray fun for me. I had a blast even though painting daily was hard. I realized that not every painting has to be perfect. It was about the process of painting and letting go of the perfectionist in me! One of my biggest problems this month was coming up with my subject matter, although I did manage to step out of my box here and there! Some of my favorite paintings consisted of the close up view points. They always seemed to be food based for some reason. Maybe it's the post holiday diet mindset - if I eat only a portion..it's not so bad for me! So therefore my thinking is... if I only paint a portion - it can't be that bad....hmm.

Happy to say that during this process I manged to paint my all time favorite painting, so that is super exciting! Drum role...it was the Blue Lobster, and it also happens to be one of my largest paintings to date. Also, my Lobster prints are now available on eBay. My plan is to continue on this route now that the challenge is over. I'm looking forward to painting  more detailed larger painting instead of sticking to my normal 5x7.  You know what this means....you may not see a post for a while.  

Another note....not only have I painted everyday - I managed to Blog everyday the past 30 days too! I think that was a bigger challenge for me than the painting itself. Said this before but I am NOT a writer. Posting a picture is great...but finding my words, well, not so much. My husband is a Senior online Marketing Manager and he is always telling me I need to write more in order for the search engines to find me. So I have added this to my goals for this year. Note to self...try not to ramble too much.

The traffic as been incredible this month - I have over 8,000 visits to my blog now. Many of the new followers are fellow (very talented) artists! It was so nice to chat with so many you this month and hope to continue. Some mind blowing work from these 250 artist that took the challenge along with me!

Big thanks to Leslie Saeta for putting this all together, and if you have the chance please check out the other artists fabulous work! 

So happy to have you follow me here!

Day 13/30 Painting Challenge "Reflections"

"REFLECTIONS"

5x7 Watercolor/Gouache 

Day 13/30 of our Painting Challenge

Tried something a little different for me today - I wanted to play with  color and reflections in the water but wanted to do a more abstract take.  It was really fun to play with the colors,  and I didn't want to spend too much time on the details and perfection of the painting. It was a fun experiment for me and I normally wouldn't post my experiments, but with the challenge (thanks Leslie) I'm just going for it and letting my guard down and stepping out of the box this month!

"Winter Passion"

5x7 Watercolor/Gouache 

Day 10/30 of our Painting Challenge - posting it a little early!

One of the best things about living here in Maine is the fact there is endless beauty surrounding us, no matter what the season. I love being able to take a quick trip just down the road to the rocky coast to see this kind of view.

So here it is, Day 1 of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge that  Leslie Saeta so graciously set up for all us artists.  I was so nervous that I wouldn't be able to get one done on the FIRST DAY due to having the flu for the past 3 days. Haven't been able to make it off the couch.

My head is still in the fog and I'm still coughing like crazy, but I'm in flight to getting better. This painting just came from playing with colors...had no idea what my plan was when I started, but it emerged.

I've decided to just play during this 30 days....I have no plans what so ever. Going to use this time as a creative time for my soul and I hope to inspire some of you to paint in 2013!  Hope you enjoy and follow along!

All paintings will be for sale
