I was issued a challenge from talented artist, Leslie Saeta,
from California to paint 30 paintings in 30 days with her. I have accepted this challenge. I am both excited and concerned that I can
live up to the challenge while working a full time job and preparing for an
upcoming fall festival schedule. As you see, I had set my New Year's Resolution
this year to paint LARGE paintings for my festival attendees. This will definitely have to be put on the
back burner to complete a painting each evening after work. So the paintings will be approximately 5x7 or 6x6 unless noted in my post on that day.
The paintings I plan for this challenge will be from my “bucket”
list of paintings things I have always wanted to paint.
Some will be tests to see if I can do it
others will be working out the detail stuff for larger paintings.
Do you have a photo that you would like me to
consider for this challenge?
If so,
please send it to me at
mdtucker1975@embarqmail.com. Please send it to immediately so that I
can select from the entries sent to me.
By the way, as a way to say Thank You for participating in
this challenge with me, and for your encouragement over the years, I will draw a name from the comments left during the
month of September and a lucky winner will get a free piece of art. You must leave a comment on my blog site to
be eligible for the drawing. Comments left on Facebook are appreciated but are not added to the eligible drawing names. I will draw the first week of October to see who the lucky winner will be.
I thank you for being fan of my art. You play a large part in the success of my
work.
