Bunnies on Plaid - the Poster!

The 30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge has ended. There were 1403 artists from around the world participating... wow! I appreciate Leslie Saeta, the creator and host of this challenge. Thank you, Leslie.

Now I get to make my challenge poster, showing all 30 paintings together. How colorful and fun this turned out! (as usual, can click image to enlarge)

Thanks for following along, and I hope you enjoyed my Bunnies. And here is the link to Leslie's blog so you can enjoy collages from the other artists. They are so colorful!

PS:  I'm putting the bunnies all together in a Facebook photo album (click on Photos then Albums, and you'll see the album titled Jan 2016 Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days Challenge). It's fun and colorful to see them altogether!

Day 30 - Dare Greatly - Thirty Paintings in Thirty Days Challenge

It's over! 

I made it to the end of the 30in30 painting challenge. I truly appreciate the support and comments given. Some days were a real bear, and your interest helped energize me. Thank you so much!

My husband said this last bunny should be named "The End". But it's title "Dare Greatly" is taken from the famous speech by Theodore Roosevelt, which means a lot to me. 

So, I'd like to share the complete version here, hoping it will inspire you also:

"The credit belongs to those who are actually in the arena, who strive valiantly; who know the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, and spend themselves in a worthy cause; who at the best, know the triumph of high achievement; and who, at the worst, if they fail, fail while daring greatly, so that their place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who know neither victory nor defeat."

6x6 inch acrylic on wrapped canvas
Special challenge price of
$30 includes it's own FREE wooden 
mini display easel and 
FREE shipping in the continental US

(other locations please email artbyretta@gmail.com 
for shipping costs) 


These mini art 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 this daring bunny to come and live with you, simply click on the Button above (you don't need a Paypal account).

Pricing note: These original mini art bunny paintings will soon be listed at an online gallery (I will post the link when it's finalized) therefore the special challenge price will no longer apply. They will revert to normal pricing, around $72 each for the 4x4 inch bunnies, and around $108 for the 6x6 inch bunnies. So if you think you'd like a bunny to come live with you, please consider deciding before the change is made, so I can give you the direct-from-artist best pricing. :-)

As always, thank you for visiting, and I greatly appreciate any and all comments. I hope you've enjoyed following along on this adventure!
