Challenge for October, Small 10x3 Inch Artwork

It is a lot of fun to completely change the usual format for a painting. Our challenge this month was to create 10x3-inch art.

Donna Vines Collage

Just after we got our challenge for October I received a special card.  As soon as I saw it I knew it would be my 10x3 collage for this month.  I loved the muted colors and simple design.

Carmen Beecher's Painting
Alaska Landscape

It was a magical time when my cousins took us on a tour around their state, beautiful Alaska. This particular day was cloudy but a break in the clouds created a beautiful path of light in the valley. Just the kind of drama I like in a painting.

 Very Horizontal and fun!

A 10x3 format works well for a single line doodle. The shape this one took, the long time it took me to fill it in, and the randomness of it made me think it had something to do with the times!

The 10x3" format also lent itself to one of my favorite inspirations, Liguus Tree Snails.

I Like Dreaming



My inspiration for this challenge is a charming oil on wood landscape of the Bay of Naples. I definitely don't have the talent or the patience to replicate something as well executed as this little gem, but I was inspired to start reminiscing about this and other favorite views from my travels.

Ballard Park, Original Oil on Canvas

  I had not painted outside in two years, so this was quite a challenge. It was one of those paintings I had to improve upon in the studio. ...
