new 150 CHALLENGE paintings

Hi all,

Here are my two newest 150 CHALLENGE paintings.

It is nice to get back into the groove.

I have 50 paintings to complete, but for some reason,

it doesn't feel like a lot.

I'm not under a deadline and I can paint whatever and whenever I want.

Yesterday, I really felt like I had to paint a still life.

I don't know why - I was just drawn to painting flowers and vases.

I finished CORNER WINDOW, and I was really happy

with the sunlight playing through the window and around the flowers.

Then Jemez called to me.

Maybe because I am itching to take a little day trip there

but I'm waiting until I can see at least a little

green in the landscape.

I hope you enjoy these two and today,

the door is open for me to paint ANYTHING!

I have a new Challenge image for our group,

"LET'S PAINT NEW MEXICO!"

It's an old truck, so I may paint that.

Here is the image:
