31 Day Challenge of January

I think most of you will agree that completing the looong month of January is a challenge to celebrate, in and of itself! The dreary, gray and cold days leave us almost longing for some Texas Heat! 

This January, I accepted a challenge from myself — to paint with gouache (pronounced gwash) paint for 31 days (in an effort to get comfortable with a medium, new to me.)  I painted over 31 studies from the windows of my home and from my photos.  

Take a look at the work here:

I shared more about this challenge in my February newsletter from Melanie Stokes Art. If you are not subscribed to the newsletter list, I invite you to do that now.

You made it through January! Go outside and walk in the sunshine!
