It is over!!!!  And I am a little sad and happy all at the same time.  The word "Challenge" is so appropriate.  This has been such a learning experience on many levels.  In the next few days, I will be getting my thoughts together for another posting about all of it.

As to why there are 2 paintings posted today - my choice was Shapes of Drama.  For the whole challenge, I had been considering a cruciform design.  It has never been one of my favorites.  So, this was sort of aversion therapy and my last chance during the challenge.

Then I showed it to The Art Critic I Live With.  His nose wrinkled up.  Not a good sign usually.  So, I showed him Coming Full Circle and got "That one is better."  To humor TACILW, I am posting it, too.

Coming Full Circle's name comes from how it relates to Day 1's painting.  Viewed individually, I thought they were too much alike but side by side, there are variations.  Maybe they are like children - the same and different, all at the same time.  I love both paintings equally.

Thank you, Kathy Elliott, for getting me to do the challenge.  I think we supported each other very well!!!  Love you 

Shapes of Drama is available at The Gallery at Round Top.
