December 3rd: Thirty days into the challenge and I have done 17 pieces. Four of those are not posted as they look absolutely aweful. Trust me. They are not postable, however, two sketches, from my first two attempts at a portrait I am doing, will go up as soon as I have a portrait I am happy with. I'm getting ready to do another portrait of it today.

I'm finding it challenging to do this 50 day challenge during the holiday season, but I'm still going to try to meet my goal of fifty in fifty days.

February 11th 2012: I've finally found the time to post the rest of my images that were done in the 50 days. I got 41 out of 50 done. So close to my goal. Some of my images are digitally alter photos that I took. I learned something about myself in the process. Before this challenge, I seriously doubted I could get this much artwork done in such a short time. I love doing photography too and I'm glad that I took the breaks from painting and played around with digitally Photoshopping my photos. I learned a lot about how to use that tool. The images I am posting that I digitally altered are all done with a similar technique.

So here they are, the rest of my paintings and digitally altered photos

(I will post the snowman images I did as soon as possible):
