30 in 30 - I'm in, again!

I participated in Leslie Saeta's challenge last year and I had great fun, but honestly, I was worn out at the end and only completed 25!  But I am up to try again.  Leslie suggested that we use a theme, and the only ones that keep coming to me are 'fun' and '4pm' which is usually the start of the 'golden hour' this time of year.  So I will try to have fun at around 4pm everyday and post my results here.  Here we go!

Angel, last portrait of the year!

Angel
10x8"
Acrylic on stretched canvas

This is Angel, who was dearly loved and lost earlier this year.  Angelique is the daughter-in-law of Angel's mom, Donna.  Angelique's husband was afraid that Donna (his mom) would be too upset, but Angelique talked to her sister-in-law, and they decided it would be OK - so we got it done before Christmas.  Angelique messaged me to let me know that Donna loved it!  We were both so relieved!

I painted this one yesterday from a photo, because a light drizzle and gray-ness kept me from painting outside.  This morning, my sunrise was an even more intense orange!  But I love the interplay of the complementary colors in this one, and will probably return to this subject again!

Brewton City Park Fountain

10"x8"Acrylic on Canvas Panel

Started this painting in the park Saturday during the Art in the Park event.  It's a little off kilter, but I was very distracted with all the friends, old and new, dropping by! It was a beautiful day and a fun event!

This my final entry in the 30 in 30 Challenge - nope, not nearly 30 paintings, but at least I got one done on the last day!  This big red guy was fun to paint, except for the fact that all of his photos have his eyes half-closed!  Apparently the big guy likes to sleep.  A lot!
