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.

Kelly, that fern texture is so exciting, and the flowers and bird are adorable. Very satisfying to view again and again!
Fabulous idea Kelly and spectacular results. The yellow flowers are the perfect touch to your wonderful sparrow.
Nice, Kelly! The flowers look like poppies and the color is perfect and brightens up the ferns!

Yes, the flowers really make the piece work Kelly!
Love the colors and all the surprises pressing can make :) Great one!
Great idea and effect with the yellow flowers complimenting the yellow in the bird's head. Great composition.
