Day 25

"Fishing Village"

8" x 10"

This is a little fishing village in New Brunswick.  The challenge on this painting was the roof lines and color.  I wanted to make this more colorful than it was and I wanted to use lots of juicy paint on the one.

Day 9

"Twin Bridges"

Last Fall I went on a New England and Canada Cruise.  One day we rented a car and drove the Bay of Fundy Trail in New Brunswick.  We discovered two covered bridges.  This challenge was about perspective and shadows.

Here is the result of 30 days of painting.  Sometimes other things in your live get neglected in order to devote so much time to painting and posting.  My next project will be to add a few touches to some of these paintings and pick which ones that would make the best large paintings.  I believe this is my fourth January challenge.  I have started them in September but never had time to finish the whole month.  My themes have been:  doors, trees, beaches & marshes, and this one which is mostly taken from images on my New England/Canada cruise.  I would love to hear comments on this challenge.

Thirty days of painting was an amazing challenge.  Twenty five of my thirty paintings were inspired by my New England, Canada cruise.  The photos were from Maine, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, and finally Cape Cod.  I hope you enjoyed the painting journey with me.  I felt as I painted each day, that my paintings got stronger.  I had a three day workshop in-between so I was also try new techniques and colors.
