Another purchase from the market...lovely fresh peas!  I love going to the market and buying the new seasons vegetables and fruit...also nice to be able to paint them  as well! This challenge has made me really take notice of the simple things around me...I will never be short of subject matter!!

This is my brush I use to gesso all my boards including the 30 for the challenge, so I thought it deserved to be painted!! I like having a change from landscapes too. Although I'm enjoying this challenge I still find I can't keep ahead...a bit stressful some days! There is no shortage of subjects to paint...it's just making the time!!

I thought I would try a painting using mainly  greens...there are so many different ones in nature. This scene is another from the Estuary...I love the back light on the hazy afternoons over there and I was was able to experiment with  all the greens!! This was a bit of a trial but I loved painting it!

Still at the beach...on a lovely clear day, watching as the tug boat guided this container ship into our Port!

It's the first time I've been able to get a good view of this happening...this was a challenge in itself even before I started painting it!!!I loved the bit of light on the tug boat!

It's day three already and it's another landscape! Still around the Estuary but this time one morning in winter...love the way the weed changes colors!  I am away until tomorrow, so I'm one day  without painting. There will be paint brushes working furiously when I get back home! I'm not sure yet if the next one will be a landscape, I have so many things in mind!

Day #2 in  Leslie Saeta's 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge!  So far so good,but it's early days! I am feeling enthusiastic and positive...just have to hope there are no wipers! This is another part of the Estuary...it's a special place for me as far as painting goes, there is so much color and everyday the light changes...there is always something to paint!! Love it!!

Well it is January 2nd and this is my first painting for Leslie Saeta's 30 paintings in 30 days challenge! Every day this month I will post a small painting... or at least try! It's certainly going to be a mission to get one done every day, but I will give it my best shot! I am looking forward to taking part in it and seeing all the other paintings, it's exciting! I haven't got any theme in mind and will continue to paint life around me.  This is the Estuary I walk by  every morning...my favourite time of the day it's so nice and quiet!
