I finally got on the blogger. This is from Selby Gardens in Sarasota, Fl. during a recent visit. I struggled with the pot color as it was lost in the bench until I added the blue. It's 5x7 on Aquarius in my journal.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.

Welcome Terry. Nice first sketch! I like the way you capture such a complicated subject, and I think you figured out the pot by showing the change in patterns and with some subtle change in intensity. It looks both shiny and round.
Welcome, Terry! Glad you decided to join the Challenge! Nice little 1st sketch!
This is fun to get to see some of your work. I'm happy to have you join us here!!
