Mission Accomplished!
My thirty seashell paintings are complete! The month pushed me to use variety of watercolor techniques resulting in increased competence. I've learned a lot and I'm a better painter for it!
I hope you enjoyed the journey! I have appreciated all the nice comments. I've enjoyed looking at the art of all the other artists too. Well done, my friends!

12 of 30 Jasper Cone
Oh, Conus! (Jasper Cone)
4" X 6"
Watercolor
$75
I picked a different sketch today than originally slotted for Day 12. This may be the smallest shell I paint during the challenge. It's truly tiny! In fact, twice when using my hairdryer to speed dry the paint, I nearly blew it off the work table!(BTW, the title is a sort of play on words related to military life; Conus is the scientific name for cone, but CONUS is the acronym for CONtinental United States, which seems to be my destiny for our entire military life.)
