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.

I remember that planter well ; ). This is lovely, Kelly. I love the patina on the planter and your little brown guys are perfect here. I like the way that they blend into the scene like they really would in life~~
Very well done, Kelly! Love the embellishment!
Wonderful flowers in that wonderful pot and the little birds are like frosting on the cake. I love how they blend into the scene, just like real birds do.
Kelly, this is so different than the one from last class! Love your take on this one, especially the cobble stones and the variation of color in the planter. Well done!
