New beginnings.... 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge



 To start off 2016, (I'm a bit late posting!) I've joined a group of artists in a challenge to do 30 paintings in 30 days. The purpose is not to come away with a masterpiece but to discipline ourselves to paint everyday. They are little exercises. Hopefully at the end I will come away with more skills. They are all 6x6 on gesso panel.
This first one is a pup "Gismo" found on Petfinder
