I decided the daily challenge would be a small painting, not to necessarily finish one every day, but to devote at least 10 minutes a day to it. Already I have missed the first day but am not fretting. I'll miss more, pretty sure. Here's the first - a majolica painting on a triptych that was glazed and waiting for decoration in the studio. It's approximately 6 x 6, I think, and took an hour to do. I broke from the Italy theme that usually goes on these and tried something different. In preparation for the 100 days, an hour was spent on Sunday cleaning up the dust and clutter on the drawing table and organizing supplies: watercolors, acrylic paints, colored pencils and markers. I found a packet of "artist trading cards" - 20 - 2.5 x 3.5 blank smooth cards, a mini-canvas board, a blank puzzle, and a 6 x 6 sketch pad. Then, in the studio, I have a stack of triptychs like the one above that have sat there for months. Everything I plan to use for this challenge is what is already on hand. And an aside: it felt good to clean up the drawing table. It had turned into one of those piles where stuff gets tossed but not dealt with. Annoying every time I walked past it.
