"50 Daily Paintings" Challenge #1 "Berries" by Mary Beth Brath

50 Daily Paintings Challenge

In April of 2011, I started some new goal setting and heavy analyzing of my career in Fine Arts.  One of my plans was to start a daily challenge for myself on September 1st.  The children are back in school at this time and I have always enjoyed "nesting" in the fall. Well, yesterday my day was packed solid from 6am to 9pm...that did include a 30 minute nap.  I love naps. Sometimes my naps are longer.

At 9:30pm I was determined to get in my first daily painting for my challenge. Here are the details...

I will challenge myself to paint 50 mini ATC - ACEO sized paintings in 50 days.

I finished the first in this series around 10:40pm. Here is the result.

3 1/2" x 3 1/2" Mini on Acrylic Paper

Trout Run Preserve is an area between housing developments in Cumberland County PA. I am so glad that people stepped up to keep this small piece of land natural. Really, I think it is too wet to build on anyway so it is perfect for a small park with gardens.

2x2" Mini on ACEO ATC Paper

Sold through Gallerie 13

This mini painting is just 2" x 2". Very fun to create and challenging. I used a toothpick for the details. This sold during the month of January at Gallerie 13 in Mechanicsburg. The still life was set up in my dining room at the end of November. I still had a pumpkin out for fall and the floral and pomegranate were ready for the Christmas season.

This little mini painting sold the first day of the December Mini Art Exhibit at Gallerie 13 in Mechanicsburg Pa. It is just 2x2". I had so much fun with the colors. The painting is so small that I had a difficult time photographing the image.
