This is Day 8 of Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days.  A little late in the day for this one.  We were busy with our Granddaughter all day so I fit this one in this evening.  No plans tomorrow so I am going to get ahead of the game!

This is Day 7 of Leslie Saeta's 30 in 30 painting challenge.  One week completed!  I spent part of the day today at a large antique show in our town.  It poured rain but we kept on going through and I found some great things to paint.  Looking forward to it.

This is Day 6 of Leslie Saeta's Painting Challenge.  Feeling a little rushed toady so I thought I would turn to my most comfortable subject, pears.  I really enjoyed this one.  I think I may do a large version of it.

Too Many Tomatoes

6" x 6"
Oil on Cradled Wood Panel
 
This is Day 5 of Leslie Saeta's painting challenge.  I am keeping up but just barely.  I need to get ahead by a day!  I have been watching Downton Abbey on DVD while I have been painting but it is getting so interesting it is taking my concentration away from the painting sometimes.  I may have to switch to music.

Peartini

Oil on Gallery Depth Cradled Wood Panel
 
This is Day 4 of Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge.  I just love to see everyone's work each day.  I finished this earlier in the day than the others and it feels good to accomplish that.  Now I will use the rest of the day to work on larger paintings.

Crock and Pears

8" x 8"
Oil on Gallery Depth Cradled Board
 
 
This is painting number 3 in Leslie Saeta's 30 in 30 painting challenge.  I have been going through storage boxes trying to clean out for future downsizing.  My husband and I loved to go through antique stores and through the years we have accumulated many items.  We are starting to sort through what we want to keep.  I have come across many items to use in still life paintings and will be using them over the next month.

This is Day 2 of Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days.  I have been very busy today spending the holiday with Family but I managed to squeeze this in.  I am not really happy with the outcome but it is my painting for today.  When pushed for time I should stick with pears!
