Well, call me crazy, but I've taken on the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge (Round 2)!  Back in January, artist/blogger/blog talk radio host Leslie Saeta challenged artists everywhere to commit to painting 30 paintings in 30 days.  I did it then and it was great!  I was totally committed....even during a bad cold!  I was really proud of myself for seeing that through!

 

So, Leslie did it again.  She has challenged us for the month of September and I'm doing it.  It was a really good experience and I'm glad I did it.  I hope I can say the same at the end of September!  January is a lot slower paced than September.  I'm scared.

 

To give myself a plan, I've decided to work through the alphabet....a painting each day representing a letter....in order.  I know....that's only 26 paintings, but since I chose the alphabet as sort of a 'back to school' thing I thought I'd start with an apple and end with four paintings of an apple or apples. 

 

This apple is dedicated to all those teachers out there who are committed to their jobs and their students.  They work so hard and usually for so little.  God bless you and give you a wonderful school year filled with happy days, obedient children, thankful parents, coffee, chocolate and peaceful nights and weekends!

Thank you for looking!

TA DA!

 

Here in one collage are all the paintings I did during the 30 Days Challenge.  (It took me almost as long to figure out making this collage than it did to paint a painting!) 

I have to say it makes me feel very good when I see them all together. 

 

This whole thing has brought me some wonderful experiences.  I've even made several new friends and realized through them that art can be very powerful.  It has the ability to touch our hearts and souls.  I'm so thankful that God has allowed me to be an artist.  It brings me so much joy and happiness. 

 

It shows me that beauty is everywhere and everything is made beautiful by the Light that touches it.
