june

I'm actively adding something positive to June, by participating in #growjune on twitter. It's a monthly art challenge; people try to post a new piece each day, with either a certain theme (like #growjune) or in a particular medium (like #paintSeptember). Running a hashtag search instantly displays everything that has been posted each day. The results are varied and interesting!

It's just a fun way for people at any level to share work and encourage each other. If you feel like jumping in, let me know!

I may not manage to post something every day in #growjune - but I will try. It's very satisfying to look back and see seven or twelve or twenty-five pieces in a month.

Would you like to see my first effort for #growjune 2017? It's this ink and watercolor sketch of a section of Solomon's Plume. And that's my actual thumb at the bottom, not a super-realistic painting of my thumb ;)

    Sounds like fun. The greens and the shading are beautiful.

      Thanks, Sally! I thought about starting quietly with a pencil or ink sketch, but decided to dive right in ;)

      You might want to join in on any one of the months that strikes your fancy? Twitter involvement is easily controlled - you could do nothing but arts!

    Very nice (thumb too). Sounds like a fun challenge and I'm looking forward to seeing what you create.

      Thanks for the encouragement! Maybe I'll post some of the sketches here as well as on twitter :)

      Oh, KB, I am pretty sure you can! Watercolor pencils seem to bring the fun, just sayin'!
