Reflections on ... 30-day daily painting challenge

Well, when I first saw Gary Reef setting himself this challenge I thought … hmmm, I should try this too! Nothing like diving straight into the deep end, hehe!

I was inspired to do this 30day challenge by Gary Reef & I have surprised myself, even though I haven't quite managed to produce daily I've still been able to do something every second or third day :) I haven't been a prolific painter up to this point so it has been quite a challenge for me!
