January Experiments

 I am getting a little frustrated with my painting skill.  I have been trying to paint things posted on challenge sites, but I haven't felt like I am able to do them.  I made a few attempts which I didn't finish before the deadline.  Where does all the time go??

This one was for Rookiepainter.  http://rookiepainter.blogspot.com/  Couldn't get the face right for the little boy and basically gave up.  Oh, well.

Next site that had a challenge that I attempted was the Paint and Draw Together site  http://paintanddrawtogether.blogspot.com/

Then I tried to do a couple of abstract paintings just experimenting with colors.  These are with oils.  I am thinking maybe I should experiement with acrylics. 

This final painting I worked on a little this month was for the site "A Nos Pinceaux".  http://defis-de-peinture.blogspot.com/  Love her photographs and paintings.  Had a bit of trouble doing the vase, couldn't get the roundness correct.  Another one I say I will go back and finish....
