#30.  I did it - painted 30 in 30!  Not all are great but I painted them and completed the challenge.  I have learned a lot and above all, often painted from life and not from photos - this is very new to me and I am beginning to understand the life painting much better.

#25.  I tried the glass from a different angle and, for a change, my subject is not right smack in the middle of the picture.   Hmmm, maybe I am learning something!

#12.  Back to the San Francisco de Asis Mission Church at Ranchos de Taos. 


#11.  Back to New Mexico - this is part of Georgia O'Keefe's home in Abiquiu.

#10 of 30.  I tried another still life as I was in a class with Alice Helwig, my teacher.  This is not my favorite subject but always worth a try!

This is number 9.  Another Taos building.

#8.  Uninspired by household objects I went back to my Taos photos of the church.  The painting went really badly so I just painted a very rough image and then sketched on top with a bamboo skewer and ink.
