Day 13 - Is This Working For Me?


6" x 6" oil

I've been thinking about this 30 day challenge and whether it is working for me. This morning, I woke up exhausted to post a whimsy floral painting which does not reflect my personal goals and intention for doing this challenge. At times, I feel my work is reverting to decades gone by or I am rushed. Coming home from my design job, I have a window of about 3.5 hours to do all that I need to do. I wish I could paint full-time, but that's just the way things are at this point in time. Coming up with a worthwhile painting has been hit or miss and definitely scattered in subject matter and style.

So, a decision has been made. This challenge needs to work for me. I will paint daily for 2 hours - longer on weekends. My daily post will be of the progress I made the previous evening instead of a complete painting. I may choose to work on one painting for a few days or just a few hours. I will continue to paint 30 days, but not expect 30 paintings. Anyone else doing something different?
