September Challenge Day 1

And the challenge begins! I have entered another 30 Paintings in 30 Days challenge, hosted by Leslie Saeta - http://30paintingsin30days.weebly.com/
Check it out regularly to see the art of over 700 artists from around the world. Or enter and stretch your wings.

For this challenge I decided to stick to working with Pen & Ink because I am a little rusty and it is always good to keep your skills lubricated.
#1 Still-life Bottles
I am going to work exclusively on 5 x 7 cards as they will fit better in my time schedule, take up less room than a full size work, and, hopefully, be saleable.

    1. Hi Nelvia, I am glad you are going to join and I look forward to seeing your pieces too. I think it is a good idea to go back to basics occasionally.
