Acrylic 11x14"
I think this is the best I will be able to do for photographing this one. I've been working on it for quite awhile and it's time to paint! This is the one I told you about yesterday that I was having trouble photographing. I think it's a little better. I still like the painting a lot better than my photo of it (probably a better situation than liking the photo better than the painting)!
The biggest challenge for me on this one was making the green leaves stand out (but not too much) against the green mountain. I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.
For those of you who read my intro to my challenge on the first day, you can skip the rest of this post and not miss anything. I kind of consider what is written below to be my "full disclosure" and may post it every day
throughout this challenge:
Notice I did not say 30 Paintings in 30 Days in my Subject Line? Most of my
artist blogger friends are doing a 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge.
I'm along for the ride, but my intention is to have 30 painting days
in 30 days, not to complete 30 paintings in 30 days. I would LOVE to
do 30 paintings in 30 days, but I quickly figured out last time that
with my schedule, I would be placing myself under far too much stress to
make myself do an actual 30 paintings. After all, I don't want to come
out of the challenge hating the act of painting!
Leslie Saeta is once again the initiator of the challenge, and you can follow the challenge on her blog. Over 200 artists are participating. So many great things happened to me the last time I joined the challenge (read about it here), that I just couldn't resist saying "YES!" again."

You have a good sense of color, Meredith! This pink rose really pops. I like the bits of pink peaking out around the vase also. It balances well with the flower. Love it! I'm amazed at people like you who can work full-time and can come home to paint. Bravo to you!
Thanks, Linda, you really made my day. I appreciate it soooo much!
You did a good job with the leaves. Love it!!!
Is this a view from your surroundings? How blessed are YOU!! I really like the pink reflections off the vase!
Oh, thanks, Jerry...and how fun to see you here!! Thanks for visiting.
Yes, Terri, that is the view from my place, same as the sunset view. Thanks for your comment, Terri.
The best part of the painting is the vase and table..love the interplay of all the shapes.... some of the leaves are a little confusing... especially near the top... maybe making the background less saturated would push it back more!!!!
Thanks, Carol for your comments and suggestions. You have been busy at commenting lately!!
Absolutely LOVE this one, would love to add it to my collection someday!! Love, Jackie
