It's Not Easy Being Green

A few of us artist get together every Tuesday for lunch so we came up with the first of hopefully many painting challenges, we agreed, to do every season. Today, after changing the date several times, we finally got together to show our Seasonal Challenge: Winter, "It's Not Easy Being Green". Below is a photo of the artists. You can see me taking the photo in the mirror (I kind of like that shot of me), and the paintings in the back ground.

This was a challenge not to use other colors and to focus on the values. I found I didn't like painting in only green and I think we all agree we are kind of sick of green. With that being said, I think the little paintings came out well. Many of the artist said they will go back now and add the colors they wanted to use. We had a wonderful time and are excited to see the Spring Challenge paintings.

The only rule is there has to be some kind of egg or eggs some where in the painting.
We will meet the first Tuesday in June
at Chef Lin in Frederick, MD at 12:30 pm
to show our paintings.

Seasonal Challenge: Winter

I am starting a "Seasonal Challenge" with my friends that meet for lunch on Tuesdays, but any painters are welcome to participate in the challenge. I will post photos of the paintings here. Hopefully, if there continues to be an interest in doing this, I will post a new challenge each season.

Here is the "Winter Challenge":
The name of your painting will be: "It's not easy being Green"
You may use only shades of green to paint any subject, any size.
Bring your painting to lunch,
 the first Tues. in April, 12:30 p.m. at "Chef Lin Buffet", Frederick, MD 
 The "Spring Challenge" will be announced at lunch.
 if you can not make the April lunch meeting, e-mail a photo of your painting to me at:
 dpkaelber@comcast.net
There will not be any winners, just artists sharing a challenge, lunch, and fun with other artists.
I can't wait to see these green paintings!
Have fun!
