I was going to title this “Yay! I’m done!” , but this title is probably more appropriate. I painted this quickly, and unfortunately, it shows. But I am off to a three day quilt retreat this morning! Fun! I have put my paints away for another day. So now I have completed 5 of Leslie’s 30 paintings in 30 day’s challenges, and I have been able to complete each one. Granted, I am not doing fine art–so it’s much easier. I have enjoyed all the other art, especially from Karin, Sandy, Sheila, Sea, Cindy, Susan and so many others. And all the positive comments I received really kept me going, especially when I didn’t feel much like an artist at all. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your support.
So today’s painting is really a doodle that I added some song lyrics to. Sing was popularized by Karen Carpenter back in the 70’s, but I guess it’s really a Sesame Street song. Though I was too old to have ever watched Sesame Street as a kid, I did acquire a SS songbook. I love this song and especially the lyrics. I truly believe there is joy to be had in the very act of singing. It really doesn’t matter if you think you have a good voice or not. Just SING!

This piece is so awesome, Pam. You have such a strong, beautiful voice that I can feel the love you put into each painting and in everything you do! Have a wonderful retreat my friend. Thanks so much for your friendship and support during the challenge and for mentioning me in this post! Hugs, Sandy

Congratulations on finishing another challenge, Sandy. I will look at abstract art differently from now on.

When I taught school, it was one of my favorite songs to teach. It was actually in the 2nd grade music textbook.

It means so much to me to hear my art brightens your day. I am having fun at my retreat. I’ve been cutting and sewing some fabulous, colorful happy fabrics. It’s improv pieicing. It will be a surprise to see how it turns out. I’ll be sure to post the results next week.
Take care, Sheila!

I think the very best paintings are done quickly. I totally love this. I’ve been meaning to do some Koans and Mandalas and it inspires me to get it together. I’ve also been thinking of joining a choir as I was in the choir at school. Wonder if I’ll get roundtoit.

Thank you so much Karin. We have both produced some wonderful work this month. That’s the reason I do these–otherwise I wouldn’t get around to my art. I appreciate all your support, friend.
