Yep, I'm crazy enough to join in the fun of Leslie Saeta's "30 Paintings in 30 Days" January 2015 challenge.  This is the 4th challenge I have participated in and it always helps me fight off the post Holiday blues that hit in January.





I really enjoy using my ipad for my painting reference.  I use an app called "accuview". It really helps me dissect the proportions of the image and get to the painting more quickly.  Gridding is a tool that simply works if you are working with photo reference.  Look for it in the App Store.

I also utilize the panel holder that Leslie Saeta makes.  It's a great way to hang on to those pesky small painting panels.  More information can be found at www.saetastudio.com.

So. welcome to the journey of the next 30 days!

I am grateful for the many blessings of my life as it is today. 

Start where you are
Love what you have
Do what you can

  1. What a cute pup. Well done! As I was looking at your work, I noticed your setup of how you hold your panels on your easel. Could you explain how you made that. I looks genius!

  2. Hi Marion, I was the gal who commented on your pups and asked about your painting panel. I did go to leslie's site to find info on it but no luck. Any info would be appreciated! Take Care, Tam
