This is the last painting in the challenge!  It's one of my favorites!

And thank you to everyone who stopped by to check out my paintings during the challenge!  I really appreciate it!

This is WHAT I DID for the 30-day challenge:

• Focused on color, value and design. 
• Tried colors and color combinations that I don’t normally use.
• Mixed most colors.
• Used a very limited palette.
• Used thick paint/used thin paint. 
• Painted tight/painted loose.
• Experimented with bigger brushes.
• Experimented with tiny brushes. 
• Documented all color choices/mixtures for each painting.
• Scraped off a couple paintings and started over.
• Did a painting in less than an hour.
• Photographed paintings every day.
• Posted all paintings – even the ones I felt didn’t work well.
• Knocked an almost-finished painting off my easel face down on the floor.
• Got over my fear of putting my paintings “out there.”
• Looked at a lot of other artists’ work.  Was very inspired!
• Got up most days at 5:00 to paint.  
• Painted for 30 days.
• Started mindfulness meditation.  
• Started Qi Tai Gu.
