5-Day Challenge: Results from Days 4 & 5

Could someone please tell me where the five days went?

Results for Days 4 and 5...

Day 4

Remember how at the end of Day 3 I ended up with a piece that had me grieving the loss of its interim state? All I could do was move on so, building on Day 3's end result (the first picture), I forged ahead:

5-Day Challenge Feb. 2012: Day 3c   5-Day Challenge Feb. 2012: Day 4a  

5-Day Challenge Feb. 2012: Day 4b   5-Day Challenge Feb. 2012: Day 4c

It's still a work in progress, but I am much happier with where it's going than I was at the end of Day 3.

Day 5

On my last day I came full circle and refined my end results from Day 1 (see first pic below). I solidified the background and some of the colours. She too is still a work in progress, but I like where she's heading. Voici:

5-Day Challenge Feb. 2012 - Day 1   5-Day Challenge Feb. 2012: Day 5

And that's it! I declare this 5-Day Challenge complete.

~~~

I enjoyed the ritual of painting and the learning that goes with too much to let it go again, I intend to continue.

Painting every day might be a tad unrealistic, but I might surprise myself at how often I get to it. After all, I get to choose when I go to the table and if I want it, it'll happen.

And if it lapses again? There's always another 5-Day Challenge.

Maybe you'll join me on that one?
