30 Paintings in 30 days Finale

Wow.  What can I say.  I really did stick with the 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge.  Only I painted 28.  Really 27 as my last painting was finished today – after the end of the challenge.  

I am so glad I decided to do this challenge for a few reasons – it help passed this cold month and I wanted to use materials and subjects I do not always get around to.  And I learned a lot. I learned that I actually do like acrylic paint.  I just do not like to use it on canvas as I am unable to get the degree of detail I want to achieve.

And I LOVE Ampersand Claybord with acrylics!  I will blog about that next week!   And this is almost what is looks like – there a few missing because I struggled with the program. But you get the idea.

This weeks efforts are below. Day 26 – “Beez on Sedum” is a water-colour on Arched 300 lb paper. 5.5″x11″ Day 27 – “High Tide Back Beach” in PEI.  Acrylic on Claybord 7″x5″Day 28 –  “Heavenly Hollies” 7″x5″ Acrylic on Claybord Day 29 – “Lunch Break” is an 10 x 8″ acrylic on Claybord Day 30 – “Flirtin” 10 x 8″ acrylic on Claybord.  

I refer to this style as Contemporary Realism.
