I was very pleased that some specific goals I had in mind prior to beginning came to fruition over the duration. I felt I was able to loosen up in a way that had previously eluded me until that point. I also wanted to create some more images for greeting cards. There were a few particular subjects that had long been on my list of things to try. And last but not least was the satisfaction that comes with fulfilling a challenge. It will allow me to feel more confident with future projects. I now know that I have it in me to follow through on something that only a short time ago I would have felt was way out of my league to attempt.Thanks for asking!!Wendy Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809722045189710005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885803560747547484.post-17195133181706934062013-10-02T15:04:56.393-07:002013-10-02T15:04:56.393-07:00Congratulations to you and to everybody who comple...Congratulations to you and to everybody who completed the challenge!

I began with a ten day challenge when I began painting again at the beginning of 2012 and I found that hard going. It just shows how one thing leads to another. I have set myself 10 hours to spend on my book this week - I haven't begun yet (gulp!)Wendy Barretthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05809722045189710005noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2885803560747547484.post-36147270460841735212013-10-01T23:36:10.213-07:002013-10-01T23:36:10.213-07:00Thanks Jane!

It has been nice to know that friends such as yourself have been following my progress. I'm glad you liked the colander. I was quite surprised it worked as well as it did as I found it incredibly difficult to work out a colour that came close to the old enamel.

I love your transparency, how you share your thought processes, write about your struggles and even posting paintings you're not totally pleased with - along with your many obvious successes! I can't imagine being able to paint or write every day - you are inspiration to me! I look forward to your writing challenge!
