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.

Neat scenes, Brinda. How large is the one of the woman makaing rotis? Just curious. I like the color palate here, and the perspective of looking from behind her. Will this be in your show? Tell me about your year's end show, okay? Also, congrats on continuing to do figures in your work, as you have wanted this time around. Hugs from afar!
Brinda, good luck with the show and your wonderful work! I'm preparing for a low-key show this Sunday and haven't had time to paint anything new for the challenge. Now I'm behind again!
They are both so beautiful and interesting too. I love your colors and style.
