Diana Nadal Collage--30 Paintings in 30 Days
30 Paintings in 30 Days Challenge with Leslie Saeta, January, 2014.
Making a collage of the art created during the Challenge says a little something about who I am as a person as well as an artist. My love of color certainly comes through. Choosing to paint specific and varied topics made it a little more difficult but satisfying. This was a creative journey and the daily adventure led to some paintings which you love, some you don't and maybe a few that you can consider finished and put on the website.. I'll have to settle back down to my daily routine of painting without the challenge of producing a painting by the end of the day. Thanks to Leslie Saeta for hosting this challenge and to each person who "liked" and posted comments.
The journey continues. My excitement and passion to produce new works is stronger than ever. I have finished several of the paintings started during the Challenge and you can find them for sale in the "My Paintings" tab.
If you want more details about my feelings and the process of each painting you can see them on my blog http://www.dianagnadal.blogspot.com or contact me with your questions via email mailto:dianagnadal@gmail.com
