Day 1 - Beauty -Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days Challenge

Day 1 of the Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days starts TODAY!

"I look to art to soothe my soul, to allow me to escape from that which disturbs my peace with a visit for a moment with something of beauty." -Robert Sesco, artist


My first mini art painting titled "Beauty":






"Beauty"
by Retta Stephenson

4x4 inch acrylic on wrapped canvas
 includes it's own FREE wooden 
mini display easel and 
FREE shipping in the continental US

SOLD

My goal is to offer an uplifting series. It's my hope that these mini art paintings will bring a bit of joy and encouragement.


These little paintings are being sold on a first come first served basis, so anyone interested please email me at artbyretta@gmail.com with any questions. If you'd like to have one for your very own,  simply click on the Button above (you don't need a Paypal account).

I hope you enjoy following along on this adventure. I'll try my best to complete all 30 paintings. There are no challenge "rules" as to how many you must paint. The true goal is just to paint MORE. But, I'm going to give it my all, and see if I can paint all 30! And it helps they are mini art! :-D

If you are an artist and would like to join in, you can jump in at any time. Here is the link to the artist who leads these adventures: Leslie Saeta's site for Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days.  

Happy painting,

Retta

    1. Thank you, Margaret.

      Growing up, my Mom raised rabbits, and then early in our marriage Jim and I also raised Rex rabbits. I love bunbuns!

      I picked plaids for a nostalgic reason. As a teen I remember the popularity of Madras plaids. Though I have to admit, I had no idea they would be so hard for me to paint! The bunnies are easier for me to paint than those "left brain logical" plaids, ha ha ha!
