#8/30 in 30 - Pony


 'Twould seem that I'm a bit rusty with the ponies - perhaps I'll practice on a few more!

#7/30 in 30 - Frilly Hibiscus

This hibiscus was too frilly and too peachy, and, well, crazy.  I'm done.

#6/30 in 30 - Campus Camellia #2

Found some 5" x7" paper already cut and taped down, so I attempted this very frilly camellia that I photographed today.  The painting just comes nowhere close to the intensity of the deep watermelon pink-red!

#5/30 in 30 - Althea

It's not quite finished yet - but it's the only thing I worked on today, so it is today's entry.  It still has a way to go, but not tonight.  I like it better now than I did when I first started, but still doesn't feel as fresh as I wish it did.  Maybe I will experiment with it again after I finish this version!

#4/30 in 30 - Spring Cleaning ... Again

 I decided on a challenge - I've been wanting to paint this one for a long time, but it took a good while, and I'm not really happy with it.  I think I'll leave it for a bit and see if something occurs to me...

#3/30 in 30 - Fine Arts Tower


The towers on our buildings at the college are purely decorative, but they add so much to the character of the campus!

#2/30 in 30 - Forgotten Homeplace

 This old home is not near the shore, but was apparently called the "Boat House" for the original owners.  It was revealed recently when the surrounding land was clear cut.  It was certainly fascinating, but was falling in on itself and was then burned to the ground.
