It's been an interesting excursion doing the challenge of 30 pieces in 30 days! A number of tasks were set aside this month as I made sure to create something new for each day.
Today I had a very difficult time trying to come up with a final piece. I had originally thought I would finish a small oil I started last week but realized today that I would need more time to bring it to completion.
So I went on a hunt for an interesting reference and finally found one that seemed just right since Super Bowl Sunday is this weekend.
Welcome to my Art Blog! I paint or draw most weekdays and sometimes finish a painting a day. I fondly call them my "Postcards from Paradise" because it's such a beautiful place the Lord made here for us.

Congratulations on the completion of this wonderful challenge, Diana!!! You did an incredible job with all 30 and it was a pleasure to have followed!! I love your last painting of this beautiful little girl and definitely appropriate for the game!!!
Hilda, you've been a faithful follower and encourager for this whole challenge. I appreciate it very much! Happy painting to you.
Diana, Congratulations on your 30-30 Painting Challenge. You have done an outstanding job painting a gem each day.
Thanks so much for cheering me on, Ruth.
Diana, Your work is so beautiful and this piece is also very charming. Who is not moved by a child?
Congratulations of completing the challenge and thank you for your remarks on my blog.
Carol, I appreciate you dropping by here, as well, and your support!
And yes, I think most of us respond to a child. Babies and small children (along with young animals) can slip by our harder shells pretty easily.
