Day 3 - Phew!

What state am I going to be in by Day 30? I had today all planned out, a little bit of gardening till 11am then the rest of the day to paint my third painting in the challenge! I did the gardening, then thought I could fit in clipping the dog's coat before lunch - it has been so long since she had a trim that she was just not having it, she quietly sat down when I wanted her to stand, hid when I was ready to do her face, rolled over when it was time for her back.... talking of back, mine was breaking by the end of it all!!!! B had to make lunch as I still up to my armpits in fluff! To cap it all, I got a call to meet some people at 3.30pm!!
At 6pm, I headed to my studio to get started on my painting! I was finished by 8pm - I don't know how the USA artists are getting their paintings complete and posted before me when they are 7 hours plus behind our time! They must be up at the crack of dawn and doing the paintings first! Mmm, maybe I should try that!

    Wonderful job, Margaret, when you think about all you've done today too! I feel the same way! With friends visiting, errands to run, etc etc...where do we find the time?! Good luck the rest of the month! We're going to need it!

    Very nice painting Margaret. Actually my favorite for the day.

    Oh, and as one of those USA people. It's called insomnia. Ha!! Happy painting!

    It might have been difficult to find the time but this is fantastic!

    Lovely painting. I was on with the boots too - looking forward to seeing what the next 25 days paintings bring

    The content reminds me of another blog I follow where the artist frequently paints piles of cups in a more photorealistic style.

    I've been telling myself I'm going to paint for going on two years now, but I get busy with other stuff and never do it. So my new year's resolution was to paint first thing in the morning (it's when I'm at my best anyway). I think some people must be painting a few ahead, and that's how they get them posted so early, though!
