30 Paintings in 30 Days...Day 1 of My Eighth Challenge

WOW...the first 30 paintings in 30 days Challenge by Leslie Saeta Started in January of 2013! She has had 2 each year and I have signed up for them all!!

So here is my first painting for the Eighth round. I actually was working on my Christmas sample for an upcoming painting class and got distracted by thoughts of Halloween,  my favorite holiday. This may just be the last year for my kids to trick-or-treat as they are nearing that age. I though believe if they put in a substantial effort in a costume them they can go. So with memories of times when they were small...I was inspired to paint this little "treater" and his cat companion on a beautiful full moon night. SPOOKTACULAR FRIENDS out for an evening of treats was created with torn papers, stamping for texture and hand drawing and painting.

Choices & Possibilities

As artist we look at our day/week stretched out in front of us. Filled with choices and possibilities. Like in a drawing or painting, it too is made up of choices and possibilities one mark at a time.Each dependent upon those strokes that came before. 
Make choices one at a time as they present themselves. Focus on the now and before you know it you will have created like no one else. Be it a drawing, painting, a meal or coming up with a strategy for all the things "to do". One stroke at a time, one task at a time.
