30 Paintings in 30 Days Recap

Cage Free

My collage of the 30 paintings.  I'm so glad that I did all but one in a 6" x 6" format.  I think this collage looks fantastic.  You can make your own collage by going to PicMonkey.  Load the photos from your computer and then drag them into the boxes.  To add more boxes, just drag the photo, hold it next to a box and a grey bar will appear, then drop the photo and you have created another box.  Hover your mouse to find the arrows in between boxes to adjust the sizing.  It's free.  Go do it!

If you see a painting you missed, I hope you'll scroll back through my posts and get a better look at it.
Many paintings are still available but I am making plans for a show so if you love a painting, you should get it now or it will probably be gone.

Happy October!
October is my favorite month of the whole year.  Even more favorite than my birthday month, which is March.  I start celebrating Halloween today so if you see me this month I will likely be wearing a tshirt that has something related to Halloween.  I have a different shirt for every single day of the month.  Did I mention I LOVE Halloween?  Also the yard decorating will begin this weekend.  First I have to mow the lawn.

"Anticipation"
Cage Free Series 022

Naturally colored eggs from Easter Egger chickens.

This is the half-way mark for the challenge.  I have learned a lot, again with this challenge and I feel like I'm getting into a rhythm with the paintings.  Last time I really hadn't chosen a theme and the paintings were just whatever I felt like doing.  With the Cage Free theme I feel like I can stay focused on learning more about my own style.

Cage Free -- 30-in-30, Day Fourteen

Family Portrait
Cage Free Series 021

Three chicks stood still (probably in a bit of shock at being away from the rest of the family) just long enough to capture this photo.  I love the idea that they are siblings posing for a family photo.  Another one that makes me laugh.

Sisters Get a Treat
Cage Free Series 020

These two sisters have come running for a treat and impatiently wait at their owner's feet.

Chickens are so beautiful and yet hilarious.  Just look at the shape of the hind-end on these two.  It makes me laugh and I want to hug them.

Avant-Garde
Cage Free Series 019

I admit it, I was watching Project Runway and the name for this painting just struck me.  This chicken is a Silkie Bantam and I just love the mop of feathers in its face.
