Day 13 - Rollercoaster!

I have enjoyed doing this little painting so much - it makes me smile, I was even smiling when I was painting it! 

 The trials and tribulations of emptying the studio, covering the contents up against the elements,painting the floor - it not drying because of the damp weather. Leaving cream coloured footprints all the way from the studio to the house, cleaning the footprints! Finally almost trapping myself inside by painting from the door into the room!! 
Who'd have thought painting a 16 sq ft floor could be so difficult?

    Thanks for sharing your painting trials! We are in it together, I like the humbleness of this one, we don't have to go far for good subject, do we!

      Sometimes beauty is right there in front of us - even if just doing this challenge helps me SEE more clearly, it'll have been worthwhile!

    I love everything about this - but especially the shadow cast by the roller. Really great painting, Margaret!

    I am finally getting around to see all the wonderful paintings done for the 30 day challenge - this one is a gem. Such ordinary objects, painted beautifully are always my favorites.
