Your zebra painting is fantastic - I can't believe that was from so long ago!!<br />I like the idea of the monthly challenge especially if it's of wildlife. I might just have to give that a go as soon as I get all my art stuff properly unpacked from the move!PaintingWritehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02215706238594630775noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460211348866060184.post-90003459171394119242013-01-31T17:18:55.232+00:002013-01-31T17:18:55.232+00:00Sharon I remember this the first time around.

I try to go back to some "failed" stuff and rework it but never turn out with anything very good. But I do see I've progressed in the almost 10 years since I started in watercolor - and that's a good thing to know when you get down on yourself. Beautiful photo!

Wasnt going to post any of mine after seeing yours but hey ho, I said my blog is warts and all, so will post some more of my school pics. The challenge will be a challenge as I very rarely do animals as they have to be so exact otherwise they don't look right, also I am a lazy artist and try to do things the quickest way, so I must slow down! Hope more take up your challenge it's a great idea just 1 a month. Good luck with it and thanks again for sharing your early work.Polly Birchallhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18071252070928856360noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1460211348866060184.post-14455996021627840422013-01-30T16:20:09.633+00:002013-01-30T16:20:09.633+00:00Another fine post.

I usually paint something then put it away for awhile to think about it. Can't do that with this challenge. So I bravely had to post many that I wanted to hide away.
