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.

Beautifully done! Love the misty feel in the middle background area. Great play of colors as well.
I know you're not asking for a critique on this, but I have to say I would love to see stronger values in that front tree to separate it from the background a bit more.
Nice colors, and I like the way it seems to fade off at the edges.
very nicely done I love the tree branches and your choice of colors in the background

...absolutely beautiful, Lorrie. I love this view of your imagination! (I'm just back from a week of vacation and have a lot of catching up to do. I can see a lot of new paintings have been posted!)
I am curious about this "imaginary viewscape". Painting straight out of my head is so difficult, and I have been trying to work on memory drawing. I would love to hear more about your thought process with this one.
Nice use of color to convey the feeling of early morning.
