#30  - Final Painting for the 30 in 30 Days Challenge
My personal goal for this challenge - to paint only
what I have never painted or thought of painting before.

 I want to thank Leslie Saeta for coming up with such
a positive Challenge. I have enjoyed seeing all the artwork
and have been introduced to some fabulous painters.

Artist Note.
The challenge I gave myself has been stimulating for me.
Time flew by and I never felt I was just painting to get it done.
I also learned to see beauty in a different way and that has been a
big surprise.
I am grateful for the support I received from so many of you
on this journey. And for not minding the vacuum, broom, detergent,
fire extinguisher etc.
For my final painting I wanted to push myself into more of an abstract
painting. I am hoping that most of you cannot really tell right off
what this is . By that I mean it is not explicit.
I have been inspired by Roger (Akesson) who has been testing
a voyage into more abstraction. To my mind, these aprons
were the perfect subject to give it a go.
Here  is a photo of the closet in the Artists Guild's Studio.
Just as it was - not arranged.
Notice how bright the aprons are. They are gifts from well meaning
friends who do not realize that color bounces back onto surfaces and
can effect your colors.

 I do wear them, but only at times when color does not matter.

The  light colored one is the one I usually wear for painting.
I made some artistic decisions by making changes from the
actual scene...more for color and linkage than anything else.
The talented artist,  Dean.  from Deano's Den has a great
 term for these artistic decisions; he calls them
 Artful Departures. 
Isn't that a great - doesn't it fit just right?

My video showing how I paint with the fracturing technique
will be released this weekend by Daily Paintworks.
