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 love the somber, almost lonely, feel of this Elva. And you certainly did capture that hazy moon~~
Looks great Elva. I love the owl sitting there and faint trees in the distance.
...as I'm a night owl, I really appreciate your night paintings. When all the chatter of the day fades away, focus come easily. I feel the quiet and focus of night in this painting.
This is a wonderful image, Elva! You captured, beautifully, the moment and the mood.
I'm not sure why, but I would love to see just a hint of color in the "air" for this! Lovely sketch!
I agree, Laure. It looks muddy and dreary. I tend to be too conservative wtih my night skies. .... Guess I should try again.
