Day 30 (last and final day of 30-in-30 Sept 2014!!!!!)

                                                                                         THE END.
                                                                                                (of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge)

When I signed up for this challenge in August, I did it on a whim...I gave little thought to the reality of actually painting 30 paintings in a month.  As such, frankly,I am a little surprised (and impressed) I made it to the end... with a painting posted every single day. My "secret"  was painting ahead and work extra hard on weekend (painting up to 4 or 5 paintings over a Saturday and Sunday).  In the end, I am pretty satisfied with how the challenge turned out.  

What's next for me... ??  My October goal is to continue to paint at least 1-2 paintings per week (depending on the size) and to get my art work up for sale online (via Etsy and Daily Paint Works).  

My final painting was inspired from a snap shot I took on the BC Ferry, between Tsawwassen to Swartz Bay (en route from Vancouver to Victoria BC).
