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!

29 of 30 Another Banded Tulip (Broken Shell Series)
A Rose Is A Rose (Banded Tulip)
5" X 7"
Watercolor
This painting isn't quite finished, but I'm in a workshop this week requiring driving back and forth and hour and a half, which makes for a long day. I also had the opportunity to attend a reception last night on a Royal Navy ship, so I wasn't even able to work on it last night.
The shell in this painting is below:
I forgot to add a coin to these photos give you a size reference; it is about 2" long and the one on the right in the bottom photo.
I'll be a bit late posting on the last day, since that painting is not even halfway at this point. At least I have no Saturday morning obligations! I cannot wait to put my collage together and see all thirty as a group. It's my favorite day to go look at other artists work.
This month has been thrilling. I've done at least ten paintings that I will have a hard time parting with. I've found many artists to follow on Facebook and Instagram. I've picked up some followers of my own too! I love how the art world just keeps expanding in my social media outlets!
