Third day of the 30 paintings in 30 days and this was harder since it was a Saturday. I’ve painted a plumeria. I got started late, and Daryl made a nice, cozy fire in the fireplace so I didn’t want to not enjoy that. We don’t have many fires.
I’m imagining Sunday will be even harder to make time to paint, but I plan to try.
I did do things differently, as this is a digital painting and I created it on the couch while enjoying the fire and watching tv with Daryl and Asher (well Asher came in occasionally taking a break from his video game).
So back to plumeria, I really don’t know too much about them except I’ve seen them in Hawaii and I know I could grow them here in zone 6b if I kept it in a pot and brought it in when it got cool outside. I know plumeria is very fragrant and is used in perfumes. In Hawaii, they make leis with the beautiful flower.
What’s the point of the 30 Paintings in 30 days challenge?
I want to be a better painter. To be a better painter, I must paint more and more.
The whole point of the challenge is to get yourself back in the habit of painting everyday. Now I haven’t stopped painting, but I certainly haven’t painted as much as I wanted in the last few months. It’s kinda scary to look back and see what all I haven’t accomplished. So I’m joining in with the challenge to give myself a goal and to help me to feel held accountable, too. Not that the Painting Police will come and pick me up if I don’t paint everyday, it’s more of a self motivation thing. I’ve signed up on Leslie’s website and I’m hoping to be able to accomplish a lot of painting.
I’m not expecting to get gallery worthy paintings each day, I may not even paint a whole new painting each day. I’ve been there done that and that was stressful. I put the stress on myself, but nonetheless, it was stressful. I do hope to foster the act of going into my studio each and every day to get more painting accomplished. You know what they say about habits, it takes 21 days to form one. It will help me get better by practicing more and more.
Thanks for stopping by.
About Me

Learn more about me on the ‘About’ page in the menu at the top. I’m an artist – a painter mostly and an avid gardener. I paint a variety of subjects including birds, koi fish, my gardens, ponds and flowers as well as anything having to do with nature especially trees and tropical scenes. I also enjoy painting abstracts and have started creating more and more of them. My most favorite thing to try to achieve in my painting is mystery.
