More from my fellow intrepid and brave artists attempting the 30 paintings in 30 days here
When I'm having a bad day, you know the time when everything you do with a brush looks c****py ... I take out my camera and go for a drive.
One day I set aside a particularly aggravating painting and was about to grab my camera and go, when I looked at my work table. Hmm I thought there are several parts of that desk that look better than my painting. I snapped quite a few photos of all the spills and overages on the glass I cover my desk with.
When I downloaded the photos I chose several that I thought would be spectacular perhaps for pillow covers etc. (if I ever get it together to print them). Today I found one of those images and decided to see if I could learn something from duplicating it in a painting. What I discovered is that in spite of the difficulty in keeping it fresh, the composition was good and there was an interesting arrangement of colour. In fact the bones of a good abstract. The second image is the original worktable image.
I know an artist that paints on a large canvas pinned to a board and when it's dry she lays a template for 5x7, 8x10 etc. on the canvas and trims it into several small paintings. That's sort of what I was doing here with my work table images. Great idea eh?
30 PAINTINGS IN 30 DAYS - Day 29
WELCOME
POSTING
As a special gift to fellow artists I am allowing you to post on my blog during the 30 in 30 Challenge. I'm using the same type of system as Leslie Saeta, so if you're participating it will be easy. Please post with YOUR NAME ONLY (not the painting's name or your business name) and a link to your web presence.
VOTING
Posting ends at midnight each day and voting begins. Voting is open on all the previous days blogs from January 1st until January 31st. Three votes for each person every day. Voting opens when posting closes and continues till 31st January 2015. At close of voting the three most popular paintings rise to the top and remain there forever.
SHARING
All I ask in return is to spread the word to other artists and offer your buddies a chance to win prizes. If you blog, link to your entry on it. Share to Twitter, FB, Pinterest etc. with an easy hover and click on the thumbnail. To visit the artist and tell them how much you love their work click on their thumbnail.
PRIZES
Prizes given to the most active artists and voters that participate throughout the month. Posts, Votes, Comments, Shares etc. There are many prizes. A newcomer can still be a winner. To make it fair for late comers, a prize will be awarded for the highest vote count on one painting during the whole party. So invite all your supporters to visit and click on all the VOTE links below.
It's going to take me a while to tally so I'm announcing the winners about a week after votes close on January 31st. Click here to see some of the prizes available ... more will be added. Top winners pick first and so on till all the prizes have been awarded.

On Review there is no clear winner yet. Many days show a draw between two or three artists. A few votes will really count, so make sure you vote each day using the links below. Vote for your favourite artist and then use your other two votes to select from all the other hard working artists.
Good Luck everyone.
