The Red Barn - Pastel 8 x6

Day 5 of the ART + WORK + LIVING  5 day challenge. 

The subject may have been a little too ambitious for this 20 minutes marathon, but I made it (after a couple of wipe offs)! I find the daily 20-30 minutes exercise very helpful to build confidence, loosen up and overcoming the dreaded painter's block. I am committed to keeping up the routine....

Day 2 of the ART + WORK + LIVING  5 day challenge sponsored by Mary Gilkerson. I am keeping with the theme of painting my street to build muscle memory.

We'll see if I can achieve a 20 minutes painting by day 5....

I am participating in the ART + WORK + LIVING  5 day challenge sponsored by Mary Gilkerson. I have chosen to paint the snowy end of my street at dusk for my first daily painting. It took 35 minutes. The goal is to decrease the painting time to 20 minutes by day 5. Really enjoying this!
