The subject for the challenge this week fell to Michael Naples. I liked him a lot more BEFORE he chose a cigarette lighter, of all things, but I got over it! What excited me was his challenge of painting it with only burnt sienna, ultramarine blue and white. I absolutely love using a limited palette so, cigarette lighter or not, I went for it! I like how it turned out.
This week, Carol Marine had her friend, Qiang Huang, select the painting challenge. Since it was the week of Valentine's Day, he chose a red rose. Here is my interpretation. 
I was considering starting a monthly painting challenge when I saw that Carol Marine had just started one. Since there is no sense in reinventing the wheel, I jumped right in! Her group is called "The DPW Challenge" and is open to anyone interested in participating.
