Art Every Day Month - Initial Results + My Biggest Challenge

I LOVE this make art everyday thing! After only six days I feel like I'm already learning so much just by painting regularly and allowing myself to try different things.

One of my biggest challenges going in will be to finish pieces and not end up with 30 works in progress at the end of the month. Wanting to produce more completed works is one of the reasons I signed up for this in the first place.

Until I do, please permit me to share with you a few pieces in various stages of completion (but none quite done yet - I think)...

AEDM Day 5: Sitting, work in progress, 3 1/2" x 5 1/2" on mat board

AEDM Day 6 (building on Day 3): man on black, work in progress

12"x4" on mat board

AEDM Day 6: collage in progress, 8"x8" on canvas

I love the variety that's coming out depending on the day, the mood and the energy available at the table. So far it's been a lot of fun.

Going back to one of my original goals though, I do hope to finish some of these within the month. Stay tuned...

Dearest sweet beth, i am so loving your gorgeous work in progress pieces. Very beautiful! It's wonderful to hear that your mood of creative energy has been wonderful so far! Have a lovely merry happy day and love to you!

These are great! I'm doing AEDM too and posted my progress today. It is strangely liberating to give myself permission to just create and experiment each day. Glad you're finding joy in it, too!

Wow Stephanie! I'd say you're off to a really great start! And...so what if you end up with 30 unfinished paintings by the end of November--you still have the rest of the year and 2012 to work on them! Follow the flow!

BIG Hugs!

Thank you ladies!

And Connie, I like your way of thinking... follow the flow indeed. : )
