Day 2 - Chill!


I have received some wonderful encouragement (you know who you are) after my Day One panic in my Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days Challenge!!! It helped me a great deal! I decided to go back to my still life and to try and forget I am IN the challenge! I'm not saying I actually managed to forget but I TRIED!

As B is still on holiday, he fancied a bit of retail therapy today (sorry ladies there are some husbands who actually enjoy shopping and he's not for loan, swap or sale) so we spent most of the day at the shops, all the while I am desperate to get home and start painting! As I didn't wake up till 9.30am we didn't exactly get an early start. I finished my 8th Peter Robinson detective novel in the early hours, hence the reason for my lie in!

So I have just spent the last 3 hours tonight executing my painting for today! It's not my best piece of work but for just 3 hours work, it ain't bad!

  2. Hi Margaret, you did a great job on the glass and I hope you are feeling a lot less stressed now that we are coming up on day 3. Have fun and enjoy the fact that we are all in this together!

  5. Wow! what a challenge, well done you for going for it. Your glass is very nicely done, nice simple but effective brushstrokes. I hope your challenge turns out to be an enjoyable and rewarding experience rather than a great big stress ;-)
