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.

Wow, Dora, such wonderful details in addition to the colors. The stem end of the tomatoes and the plastic wrap on the cherry tomatoes are fantastic. That contrast of blue-green basket among the reds is delicious, too.
I know I always say this, but I love the touch of contrasting color. That turquoise is awesome! And I like that you put the plastic wrap in there for contrast in textures.
Your posts always make me hungry!!! Wonderful use of color! The plastic wrap is amazing! And I agree with Kristin, you always manage to add the right pop of color! Lovely.
You ladies always knock me over with your great comments!
These look so real - colors, texture, shadows, etc. It reminds me of looking at part of a table at the local Farmer's Market.
