30 Days 30 Paintings!

Day 6 Teacup 1
Well, I finally jumped off the cliff and challenged myself to paint one
miniature every day for the next 30 days.
Committing to painting something small every day forces me to get into
the studio on days when I'm just not feelin' it. Once there, it's
easier to stay and get going on larger works.
I promised a long time ago that my private group (aka, you), would get
first shot at my artwork before the rest of the world. This challenge
makes that kind of tricky to pull off though. Do you really want me to
email you every day?....... I thought not.
Today is Day 6 and I do apologize that I started without alerting you
first. But I had to take the plunge when the impulse was strong or I'm
afraid I would have chickened out. That might turn out to be a good
thing, as you'll see shortly.
Let's begin at the beginning.

30 Days 30 Paintings
Day __ title size Available/SOLD
$65 (free shipping)
Includes a mini easel.
Message me if interested.
The proceeds will go toward paying for the artist residency I told you
about in an earlier letter. And even if you are not planning on
snagging one of these, I thought you might enjoy seeing how this is
going.
Day 1:
Sky 1. Just a chilly winter sky,...and birds of course. That's a given.
I was astounded when someone claimed it not long afterward. SOLD
Day 2:
Sky 2. Two people responded, but wanted to know if I was going to do a
feather.
Day 3:
Feather 1. Three people expressed interest. One of my "Fabulous Five"
collectors got there first. SOLD
Day 4:
Sky 3. A couple of likes, but no takers.....yet, likely because of the
poor image. The actual painting actually looks terrific!...and it's one
of my favorite winter scenes. I kind of wish I had waited to post it
til I had a better photo. It's listed as unframed in the post but I
have it in a wonderful shadowbox frame, and if someone in my private
group wants it, I'll include that.

Day 5 "Gilded Sky"
Day 5
"Gilded Sky"
See what just happened here? Brighter colors, photographed to show
scale, and titled with a familiar phrase from my favorite hymn...and
BOOM! SOLD within minutes of posting.
It seems this was someone else's favorite hymn too.
I plan to watch what gets the most attention and do more of those. So
far, it's feathers and bright skies, but I'm thinking teacups will also
go over well.
Now here comes the best part.....

Day 6 "Aqua Teacup"
3030day6
Day 7 "Above The Storm"
You get to see Days 6 and 7 before they're posted.
I doubled up on a couple of days so I could have Sunday off.
(Ok...that's my dirty little not-so-secret secret). I'll try to do that
each weekend.
I will be posting the "Aqua Teacup" later today and "Above The Storm"
tomorrow afternoon. Weekdays will post in the morning, hopefully before
9am.
So I hope you'll join me for the fun on Instagram or Facebook this
month. If you're interested in a piece, you'll need to act fast.
If you're not purchasing, but you'd still like to help me get to that
art residency, give a like or leave a comment on your favorites.
And once again, thank you for coming along on this crazy art journey!
