The 100 Paintings In a Year Challenge is intended for artists that are dedicated to the growth and development of their style as well as their artistic voice. The challenge also provides a means for overcoming areas in need of improvement.
The paintings should be a mix of small, medium and large pieces, some sketches, plein aire, and studio work; work from life as well as from photos. The variety is meant to push the artist out of any rut, to provide ample opportunity to create no matter what other time obligations are going on, and to challenge the artist if they do not create in one of these categories. The work can be done in any medium, but it is strongly advised that the artist consider choosing one medium in which to do the Challenge as this will help facilitate faster growth than trying to master multiple mediums.
DO NOT JUDGE the artwork! When a piece is complete, set it aside and move to the next piece of work. Learning to suspend judgement of our work is a major step forward in the development our skills.
Once committed, the expectation is that the artist will fully participate in the blog by posting on a regular basis as well as leaving encouraging comments of others' artwork through comments.
The challenge may be started at any time.

Love the sense of solitude and quiet you've captured in this image. Working small does help to eliminate a lot of the extraneous detail!
sweet very well done

This is lovely! I like the way that the shadows and breaks in the snow have been captured.
Very nice, Kristin- I really like the sky colors and the surface of the pond looks really glassy and calm.
lovely, Kristin....I can feel night settling in...and the transition from day creature sounds to night creature sounds...
