5-Day Challenge: Day 5

I did it! Five days of going to the table and five pieces started!

Yesterday's results were, um, interesting. I ended up painting an abstract cityscape - I think - and it's very green:

cityscape - work in progress, 16x12 on mat board

The jury's still out on this one, but I'm OK with that.

The point of this week's little experiment was not to finish five paintings, but to simply show up at the table and that I did. I even learned some lessons and gleaned insights along the way - fodder for a post to come no doubt.

Thank you for stopping by and for leaving me words of encouragement as I reported on my progress. I had a lot of fun and I intend to do it again.

Maybe next time you'll join me?

Thank you ladies! Hm, I'll have to tap into art-making mantra #2, Can't Be Too Precious, to actually finish the pieces. : )
