āCrabby Appleā I painted 99% of this crabby little owl yesterday but I finished the apples today so I wasnāt able to post him until he was complete.Ā This will be my last painting for the 30 in 30 challenge. I know, itās only the 28th. I have an art festival in Walpole, NH this weekend and will be unable to paint while Iām there. So this is it, but I enjoyed the challenge and have a bunch of little paintings to show for it. I will post all the paintings created this month on t

I love woodpeckers. They are the hard rock lovers of the bird world. Get it? Head Bangers!š Iām sorry, I crack myself up and my daughters roll their eyes and ask me to please stop. Oh well. For today we have a wee little Great Spotted Woodpecker


Day Twenty Five - 30 Paintings in 30 Days
I skipped a day yesterday! It was just too much to do and not enough time to devote to a painting. I hope this bunny makes up for it. My daughter says he looks like heās about to cry. What do you think, is he a sad bunny? If he is, why is he so sad?š¤

Day NineteenĀ - 30 Paintings in 30 Days
Ok. Full disclosure. I did paint yesterday but I didnāt like my painting so I wasnāt going to post it. Iāve decided that since the challenge isnāt to create impressive gallery or museum quality paintings, but to paint MORE, then I should post it. So hereās a slightly cartoonish froggy from yesterday.

Day Seventeen - 30 Paintings in 30 Days
A little hopper for todayās painting. We have a tiny vernal pond on our property and we always love seeing and hearing them in the spring. Then we watch the eggs develop and hatch. Next thing you know those tiny tadpoles are losing their tails and growing legs. Then it starts all over again next spring! My third grade science fair project was about the frog life cycle and I used to catch them all the time when I was little. I also used to kiss them much to the dismay of my mo


Day Sixteen - 30 Paintings in 30 Days
She told the truth! Iām not accustomed to doing fine details with a large finger sized piece of pastel (I usually use pastel pencils) but it came out better than I thought it was going to considering how it looked yesterday!
