31 Day Art Challenge (Day 1-10)

Posted by shakia harris on May 3rd 2022

I'll be participating in Lori Siebert's 31 day #flowermonth2022 painting challenge. Each day of May is characterized by a choice of 3 flowers, and the options are presented in alphabetical order. I'll be sharing process videos on my Youtube channel and instragram page. I'm excited to experiment with different flower types, and hopefully I find some new favorites.

I decided to give myself some grace and allow myself the flexibility to complete the challenge until I paint a flower for every letter. I've struggled in the past to stay consistent with these kinds of challenges. I could blame it on the medium I use. Oils take time to dry and it's really difficult to finish a painting in one sitting, even if it's small. Honestly, I have the two young babes, and life just gets busy.

Day 1- Azalea

Like A Moth to A Flame 36x48 in oil painting, Shakia Harris

Day 2- Buttercup

"Sings By Itself" 11x14 oil painting - Shakia Harris

I hope you enjoy the mix of white ranunculuses and yellow buttercups. This abstract impressionist floral painting is a one of a kind, with chunky edges to boot (2 in gallery deep edges).
