Day 7 Fast Radish

Fast Radish  6 x 6 pastel

Fast because I didn't have much time to paint today. Radishes reappeared in my life a few years ago after a long absence and now I can't have a salad with out them.

Day 6 — Today is Epiphany, the day Canadians take down the Christmas decor. Maybe they sip a nice single malt with Bing Crosby crooning in the background. Cheers!

Day 5 ...

Day 5 — This is the ghosted image of two failed attempts at my exploding Amaryllis, aka "Nymph."
So, it isn't a day to post a finished painting.

It doesn't always come out well, but it's stepping up to the easel that counts. You are welcome to stop by and view my pile of wipe outs and do overs anytime, it's a big stack!

Tomorrow is another day. Enjoy your weekend.

Day 4 — Chas's Rooster

Chas's Rooster 6 x 6 pastel

Day 4 — Who is Chas you ask? Chas is our neighbor and the grandson of Charles Mraz, the famous beekeeper. 

This was his rooster that roamed our neighborhood for the first year we lived here. He was stunning. Sadly, he met his demise when a vixen needed some extra nourishment for her 8 kits.

Day 3 — We got some snow last night, which is lovely but I was thinking of spring, ergo asparagus. I have painted this about 4 times to fit the odd frame I had made from scraps.

Now I am wondering if the orientation should be horizontal? I've had some great suggestions when I posed this about a week ago: Monopoly pieces (which I am avidly searching for, vintage of course), olives and... more thoughts? Maybe the month will be spent painting the suggestions to fit this.

Day 2 — Marshfield Sidestep

Marshfield Sidestep  5 x 7 pastel

Day 2 — I went with a friend to check on her home in Marshfield, VT — which borders the Northeast Kingdom, a name I find wildly romantic and mysterious. 

This little piggy was at a farm we visited. He had quite the "tude" and was showing us his moves.

Day 1 - New Years Onions

New Years Onions  6 x 6 pastel

I have decided to do another 30/30 challenge for the month of January. This one is self-imposed. Normally I do Leslie Seata's Challenge but she isn't doing one for January and I need to do one. Not sure where this will lead me, but you are invited to follow my journey. 

Cheers and Happy New Year!
