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.

Teri, I don't know if it is evident to you, but I see such growth in your work since you've started the challenge. You're tackling more complex subject matter, you're getting out of your comfort zone and you're succeeding more often than not!
Bravo!! Keep up the great work!
Thanks Laure. I do see it and I am definitely out of my comfort zone. And it feels good!
I have felt so motivated since I joined your challenge.
....really nice, Teri--so cheery and warm! The sky really came together.
Paintings that capture a moment in time are so meaningful. Good job!
This is lovely, Teri. The values in the flowers and foliage is perfect and I agree with Kelly...so warm and cheerful~~
I don't know how I missed this one before now. This is so inviting -- making me want to stand on my tipee toes and look out the window. I love the geraniumns -- the different greens that you've captured.
