Dernier jour du Défi et j'avoue que je ne suis pas fâchée. J'ai développé une tendinite dans le bras droit et je vais le reposer pour quelque temps.

September has become a very busy month in the last years. Leslie Saeta's Painting Challenge is now a "must ". I find it's a period for trying all kinds of things I wouldn't dare or find the time otherwise. Like playing with différents pencils and pens, working on different types of papers and canvases, and experimenting with new subjects.
Day 1, a waterpainting style poster, with my lovely niece Evelina posing as my model!

I like faces - Day 28

I did this one with my friday afternoon painting group. We get together every week in an old school nearby and I get the chance to meet with other artists and see different types of work. We're getting to be good friends and we have lots of fun.

I can hardly believe there are only three more days before the end of Leslie Saeta's January Painting Challenge. At first it looked like an impossible thing to accomplish but it is now part of my every day routine.
