January 30 in 30 2014 Done

Finally January's 30 in 30 is done!! So there were some wipers, and a few that I happy with. Those I happy with because they show promise that they work as a larger painting.  Time was always the thing, when you get behind or you lose the light, so some where not finished.  I tried a to do a wide variety of subjects; some made up, some were from photos and others were from life.  All were done with varying degrees of success, but it was so fun to see how everyone else in the group progressed!

The clothes hanging outside and the shoes on the porch roof just seemed smart if you haven't any more closet space. We came across this scene while walking down a street outside a water village in China.  We thought the bamboo stick was used to retrieve a pair of shoes when needed.

Went shopping over the weekend to help a friend look for a table and chairs. She didn't buy anything but I found several great things to paint!

I have been wanting to try a night scene, I saw this old pic today which resulted in this idea. I liked it so much I tried another. 

Singing About My Big Red Stompping Boots, Day 21

This is Kate singing about her big red stompping boots, as she called them.  It is not a great pic because of lighting, my daylight was gone.
