5-Day Painting Challenge Recap

Here are all five paintings done in Mary Gilkerson's 5-Day Painting Challenge. All participants had between 20-30 minutes to complete each painting. The suggested size was 5" x 7" or 6" x 8". I elected to do mine in a series of 5" x 7" pastels featuring one of my all-time favorite places on earth, the Taos Gorge Overlook.  Here are all five together. I'd love to hear if you have a favorite. Thanks again for coming along on this short but wonderful journey.

5-Day Painting Challenge, Day One

Today is the first day of  Mary Gilkerson's 5-Day Painting Challenge.  I am warming up for Leslie Saeta's 30 in 30 Challenge. Actually, I had signed up for Mary's first and decided it would be an excellent thing to carry out further so, I signed up for both. This particular challenge is to paint a small painting, 5"x7" or 6"x 8" in 20 to 30 minutes. When the timer goes off so do your hands. I have chosen to work in a series from a scene that I absolutely love, the Taos Gorge Overlook.
