30 in 30, Days 10, 11, and 12...

Good Morning Blogfriends,
Hope that you all had a wonderful, restful weekend.
Here, it was a rainy 70 degree weekend...I spent a ton of time inside - catching up on naps.

I continued to paint - between naps....daily, and I am loving this challenge for that simple reason - painting daily.  Showing up even when I don't feel like it...because excuses or things can quickly take over for me.

Hope that you have a beautiful week of creativity!!

Until next time,

Ophelia

Day 9 of 30 in 30...

Good Morning, Blog Friends...
We have made it to Friday, and thank goodness.  This week has been long, and I am finding that painting has become my refuge.

Nothing else seems to take me away like heading off to my studio and shaking the day off with paint.

I hope that you all have a wonderful, restful weekend.  I plan to.

Until next time,

Day 8...
Good morning,
Today I am a little tired...so marks are my comfort when I feel as though I get lost and can't figure out what to do next....

Make it a great day!

Until next time,

Day 7...
Some days I feel like it won't come together in time for me to head out the door for work.

So, I end up simply going with it...learning to let it all go and just enjoy the process.

Hope you have a great day.

Until next time,

Day 6....

One thing that I am learning is that the more I paint the more, the more confident I feel in painting...and also, the more I paint, the more comfortable I am with my style.  Does that even make sense??
I think this is another reason I simply love participating in challenges.
I know that I love making marks...I just do....and color....I love color.
See you all tomorrow.
Until next time,
Ophelia

30 in 30 Days 3, 4 and 5

Good Morning Blogfriends...
Ok, so I have failed at getting a post up daily, but I have kept up with the challenge so far.

 Day 3....8x8 Acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas.

 Day 4....8x8 acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas.

Day 5....8x8 acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas.

I am hoping that this challenge will help me A) get into the creative habit of painting daily and B) use up some of the supplies that I have and have been hoarding for such a long time.
Looking forward to using up some paint.
Until next time,
Ophelia

Day 2 of 30 in 30...

Good Morning Blog Friends,
Its day 2 of Leslie Saeta's challenge, and although its early, I am feeling pretty good about what I have been creating so far.

One thing that I am enjoying is just the practice...the process....not the finished product.  I just absolutely am in love with the process.

Enjoy your day.

Until next time,

Ophelia
