I was so excited to get word that "So Happy Together" had won People's Choice Award at the Red Show at the Legacy Gallery in Lubbock, Texas. Thank you Lubbock!  It is a Mixed Media piece created with acrylic and layers and is 8x8 on canvas panel. It is not available.

I have been enjoying a leisurely pace in the studio, still working just not cranking them out like I was for the challenge. I was thinking about that...I know I can and it was fun rising to the challenge...I think it is good practice so what keeps me from continuing? Life happens as they say. 

The pieces I am working on now are a little more entailed and I am enjoying the process. I guess that is what it is all about anyway when you get down to it...painting for the JOY of it.

Enchanted Forest is 8x8 mixed media and is AVAILABLE.

 It is hard to see the metallic copper and iridescence paint in the photo, sorry you can't see its sparkle.

Thanks for stopping by!

It's been fun but as they say all good things must come to an end! The challenge has really given me a jump start on the new year. I can see taking several of these small paintings and developing them into a larger format and changing them into something new. I hope you have enjoyed seeing where the challenge has taken me,,,it's been quite a journey. Life goes on and sometimes it was difficult to get a painting a day finished....but I preserved and finished.

Here is a look at all of them together. Thank you for looking in now and again to see what I am up to. Have a wonderful weekend... And as they say in Texas "Happy trails until we meet again".

Switching gears and doing some mixed media, layers of paint,paper and more paint. It is good to escape reality sometimes and do a little day dreaming. Artist sometimes live in the world they imagine.

I like the tee shirt with the saying: "I am an ARTIST that means I live in a crazy fantasy world with unrealistic expectations. Thank you for understanding." Hmmm...I may have to get one of those.

Only four more days to go with this challenge and I won't have to push and juggle my life so hard. A little more leisurely pace. I welcome it...although it has been fun to see if I could do it and keep up with my real life. I thank you dear readers for your comments and support!
