2009-2010 Challenge Paintings

Each month we have a challenge painting of the month. This is strictly an optional exercise for those who would like to set themselves a challenge. The following topics have been chosen for our upcoming meetings. Just paint a painting that fits the topic and bring it to that month's meeting for a little show and tell. It's also a great opportunity to get some gentle coaching from the professional artists in the group. Stretch your artistic skills on the following challenges:

September:  Water
October:  Abstract/non-objective
November:  Still Life

December:  Children
January:  Red
February:  Animals
March:  Sky
April:  Rain
May:  Flowers
