California Radish

Radish Study
Another watercolor - NFS

September 1st and I am starting the
Leslie Sateta 30 day challenge.
The last one was in January and I placed too much
pressure on myself so this time I am going to mix
quick studies like this one with more complex
oil paintings. And...drum roll... if I miss a day I will
forgive myself and recognize the world
will not come to an end!

I commend Leslie for repeating this challenge.
What a great friend she is to the artist community.
I am sure it involves a lot of preparation work for her.
I know I will grow in some way for doing it. Thank you , Leslie
Over 300 artists have signed up which means I will
not be able to visit all the participants blogs to check on their
paintings but I will enjoy seeing those I can get to.

Day 27 in 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.

Three more days left in the Challenge!

Many years ago I had a virus which left me with what they 

call pinpoint pupils - preventing both my pupils from dilating. 

The only downside is that I am as blind as a bat from dusk to 

dawn without a light source. Caring friends and family have 

always casually linked my arm and guided me safely wherever, 

without a word being said, but on my own it was a 

different story and I became the flashlight queen...

never without one or two!. 

Have you noticed that along with the LED lighting, brighter 

colors and different styles and shapes have also presented 

themselves? It has been a joyful experience for me. 

I now have a wardrobe color range of flashlights.

My purple/cerise one is at the gallery or it would have 

been painted today.

Sticking to my self imposed rule of painting something
I have never painted before. This time - A broom!
