This was expected. I knew when I decided to accept this challenge that the gardening season would interrupt - not the whole season, but the planting time. Perhaps more than usual this year because, after a winter of drought, we had a rain that caught us up to normal water levels in one day. Spring exploded onto Denver, and the weeds, too. So, the last few days have been spent planting seeds, building beds, transplanting, and weeding. The last was not something that could be done at paced intervals because they grew to maximum and were going to seed in one week!
However, this challenge is more enjoyable than I expected, and even if I don't catch up to a painting a day on schedule, I want to continue past the 100 days until I've done 100 paintings.
I decided to move beyond the normal Italy theme to try something new. Some spring from impressionist paintings by Camille Pissarro, some are Colorado themed.
Here's a few of the works so far: unfired mini-triptychs, mugs, a box with lid; and, on the fourth row, 2.5" x 3.5" artist trading cards. Each day, when a painting was finished - or partially finished - I snapped a picture and posted it on Instagram (Peggy Crago).
