30 in 30 Day 1

Leslie Saeta has once again invited artist to join her in the challenge '30 in 30' where artists paint and post their paintings on her blog for 30 days. I have joined in a couple of times before and find that not only is it a good discipline and motivation but it is also fun to see the work of the other artists around the world. This year there are over 1000 artists taking part.
To see their work go to Leslie's blog 

This is the first one for me

Imari Bowl with Grapes & Satsumas 8" x 8" oil

I love painting this Imari bowl . It isn't just the colour but I love the shape too. It goes so well with various fruit.

Day 5 0f 30 Odd Mug

Can't even think where I bought this funny looking mug, I've had it for ages. I just love it's quirkiness and colours. I think it's Dutch, definitely hand thrown and painted. If it looks a funny shape - that's because it is - honest!!

Odd Mug 8' x 8" oil on board

Day 4 0f 30 'I've got the Blues'

I love painting my tubes of paint and as I was using these three in the painting, I decided to include them. The only trouble was, putting them back in the right place after I'd squeezed out more paint.

I've got the Blues 8" x 8" oil on board

This is the last of the plums because I have now eaten them (just as I'd got the hang of painting them.)
