January 2015 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge

Color Swatches 

Frequently art challenges are organized that encourage artists to create a painting a day.  Normally my paintings take much longer than this, but the point is to get 2015 started with a flurry of new work.  I decided I'd experiment with some new ideas so by the end of the month I could decided if I wanted to explore it more in more complex work.  This challenge was organized by Leslie Saeta. I'll include a link to her blog where you can see the paintings of all the artists who are participating. I received an email from Leslie this morning and apparently there are 810 people participating in the challenge. 

I have done a lot of research and worked out the color schemes for my work and prepared 8" X 8" gallery wrapped paper "canvases" so I am ready to go on January 1st. You can see some of the color scheme in the swatches I assembled in the photograph at right.

I'm not going to share the concept but will tell you that as you follow along there might be some surprises along the way.  I hope you enjoy the journey that begins tomorrow.
