A New Year’s Challenge – Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days
Last January I decided to tackle a big feat for me—painting one painting a day for 30 days. Was I successful? Yes—but I didn’t have 30 paintings at the end of January. I only had 20. Ten short? How was that successful?

As I began to sketch, I began to smile. It is very heartfelt thing when you can feel your soul pouring into your...
30 Day Challenge!
