Stranger in the Night
I see this guy nearly every night at the lake (when it isn't frozen). Haven't had a formal introduction, but I feel like I know him. He is not particularly friendly, he stands in the shallow water, and never looks my way or makes a move as I drive by. He is a familiar stanger in the night, but still a stranger. I've never seen him in the light of day, so I painted him pretty much as I have seen him.

Day 30 of 30 paintings in 30 days!!! "Big Deal"
Hey, I made it! I completed the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge! Today's painting "BIG DEAL"
because this challenge has been a big deal for me! I have really pushed myself to try some new techniques and step outside my comfort zone a bit. I still love the birds. I like to paint them soft and sweet with a calming background. To celebrate the end of the challenge and my continued love of painting the seagulls, I painted Big Deal today and he is BIG. Much larger than my ususal paintings, measuring 20" x 20"! That is a large watercolor in my books. I painted my beloved sweet and soft guy, just big. Thank you to all that have followed me through this challenge, the support has been appreciated. I invite you to continue to follow my blog as I will be posting new paintings.

Day 29 of 30 in 30 days "Picture Day"
Wow, day 29 of my 30 paintings in 30 days challenge! This has been a good experience for me. I sure appreciate the support and encouragement that I received along the way! Thank you. Today, "Picture Day", more of a bird portrait I would say. This guy looks rather handsome posing for this shot. My soft turquoise background and soft grays with an occasional spot of color keeps him calm and peaceful.

Day 28 of 30 paintings in 30 days "Day Dreamer"
Well, it is day 28 of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge that I am participating in through January. I painted a new little friend today, "Day Dreamer". This seagull was painted from a photo that I took at the sailboat marina near my home in Southern Illinois. I think he looks like he is dreaming of where he might fly away to next. Definitely mulling around some options in his mind. I can relate.

Day 27 of 30 in 30 days "Nodding Off"
This is day 27 of the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge through January. Today, "Nodding Off". I painted this little guy from a photo that I took at the sailboat marina near my home in Southern Illinos. Of course there wasn't really a turquoise sky or water, but I like turquoise. And I like to paint birds soft and sweet. I like this little guy, hope you do too!

Day 26 of 30 in 30 days "Tips"
Well, here we are on day 26 of this 30 paintings in 30 days challenge! Back to the bottles, "tips" today. I have had fun painting the bottles, they really allow me to loosen up and just paint! the tops are in shadow, the tips name comes from that (still making references to hair, just 'cause I started with it). Indigo bottles and nice red orange labels make a really strong statement to me. These bottles are saying "here we are, and we feel good"! I guess you had to be there to get that, but in stepping past my usual conservative ways with painting, that is what I see. Thanks again for following me through this month, just a few days left!

Day 25 of 30 in 30 days "Seagulls again"
Okay! Day 25 of 30 paintings in 30 days. "Seagulls again" today. I like to paint seagulls. Seagulls and the ocean just go hand in hand to me. Even though I took this photo at the sailboat marina near my home in Southern Illinois, the seagulls took me a little closer to the ocean than Rend Lake!
