Paintings # 23, 24, and 25


Hi everyone, Well the last few days have been quite hectic. I had the student watercolor exhibit, then quilting at church on Tues. most of the day, as we are getting ready for the Fall and Christmas bazaar.
I have other obligations and things I have to do so for the next few days, my painting time will be very limited. I have decided that number 25 will be my last painting in the challenge. Sometimes you have to change courses right in the midst of something, but that is life. I am pleased with the number of paintings I was able to do. The will be for sale and will be displayed at a couple of Fall shows.

I realized yesterday that I was getting in a bit of a stressed mode when I had to hurry to finish the one above and not give it all the time I would have liked. To me, painting must be fun and pleasurable and at the same time, I an interested in the quality of my work more than the quantity.
For this one today, I merely redid one I had done earlier and tweaked it a bit to improve it. So I hope you enjoyed seeing my paintings this month. It is time to do some other things, as well. I soon will have some cute ideas for Fall decorating and crafts, so hope you stop by again soon, Egretta

  1. Really, your work has been amazing. I know what you mean when your pleasure becomes more of a chore. I like the squash because who paints squash?

  2. I like all of these but the top one is my fav. I love the stones you placed at the base of the pot and the beautiful negative areas between the flowers and leaves. Quite wonderful!

  3. I really like the wisps in the edging of the fabric in your last painting. I think it would be my favourite.
