During the month of May, I painted very intensively during a creative streak, to get ready for June shows. Sometimes I'd paint for several hours, like 6 to 8 hours, then begin to about wrap up the painting day , and then I'd start 'playing' at painting which sometimes went for a couple MORE hours!  While it wasn't 30 paintings in 30 days it was nearly that.

I had such great results during the month of May.  The paintings were not limited in size:  the smallest were 9"x12" to 12" x 16" for the smaller sizes, and the largest is 28" x 42".    I re-worked some paintings that had been unhappy little paintings that hadn't quite come together,  and to re-make and make them into what I envisioned when I was painting en plein air or in the studio, well it was a wonderful relief!

I also sold 12 paintings in 30 days! THAT is something I've never done before. . . . so I'll keep going along this path of abstract and abstracted landscapes. 

The paintings are acrylic on panel, acrylic on paper, oil on canvas and mixed media on canvas . . .week by week, you can view what I painted     in a recent POST   on my blog.
