Oh April - where have you gone? Admittedly you were mostly shrouded in cloud and often drenched in rain but were also bathed in sunlight and lifted by the most glorious blue skies.
Now, suddenly it is the last day of April and the last day of the challenge - #30minipaintings, so I thought I would, to commiserate/celebrate/acknowledge the last day of the month by sharing them here.
Each little picture (well - 28 of the 30) is a record of a real event on the day or the day before they were painted - 28 little stories of my life. The other two were just quickly done late on in an evening when I'd not had time earlier to paint.
Cats, plants, gardens, adventures, family, tea and life - that sums up April. And to show how small they really are .....
A small and furry for comparison.
Post Script - I am on with another painting/drawing challenge - one I kick started at work at the beginning of the year to encourage folk to get creative - it gently grows with more people joining in - we're going for world domination through the medium of art!
So cute...now to make a dolls house to display them all in! x
ReplyDeleteThank you - the plan is they will stay in their tins, I have several going, so they are easy to store/transport/forget/lose! haha
DeleteBrilliant ❤️
ReplyDeletethank you xx
DeleteWonderful to look at now, and I am sure you will revisit them in the future. Being creative is the most cathartic and healing thing I know, so lovely to see you painting again, xx
ReplyDeleteIt is definitely cathartic, it is also creates a time warp - you just lose hours and hours without realising it!
DeleteGorgeous paintings. I have enjoyed seeing them each day.
ReplyDeleteNow I am curious about your other challenge. Xx
Thank you :) I can't spill the beans regarding the other challenge as it is a birthday present but it will take a year to complete! (I do wonder about my sanity some days haha)
DeleteThese are so beautiful and so very tiny. I love them 💜 Carol
ReplyDeleteThank you Carol :)
DeleteYou will have to turn them into a mini book. Very sweet. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you🌞 they're residing in their tins (there are several) as 'alternative' sketchbooks
DeleteWhat a clever lady you are. I sent a link to this post to a friend and she loved them, saying you were very talented. I can't believe the detail you've achieved on such a small scale. Being creative is wonderful and rewarding. I'm off to make another quilt! x
ReplyDeleteAww thank you lovely lady xx Creativity is definitely rewarding x
DeleteI am in awe of the joy you spread far and wide as you published another little gem each day ..
ReplyDeleteThank you Beth x
DeleteI love them and return to look at them often. Love seeing snapshots of your life. xx
