french toast girl started this idea:
"So here's my brand-new idea: I am committing myself to do a painting for every day in the month of May. They can be tiny. They can be crap. :) They can be about anything I want. "
My intentions were to join her until I forgot to paint yesterday! Well I did one today, so mine can be "almost everyday in May". Here is today's effort. I have one friend joining in on the fun and we hope to show each other our efforts every Friday when we see eachother at school.
It's hard to be creative when there are peanut butter sandwiches to be made, washing to hang and bottoms to wipe! So I have decided to do quick paintings. Just between 10 mins and 30 mins, if I can squeeze them into the day. I think it will free me up more as a designer and get my creativity going.

Do you feel like joining in Ruth??
Great idea I love the colours and the May-like subject matter
I think that's a great idea, I'm trying to draw something every day. It will probably just be a self-portrait or a self-portrait as a mermaid, but I think it's a good way to push yourself and grow.
Kristina,
what a wonderful idea! I love the leaves-they look real! I so admire your perserverence and committment to your creative process.

Wow, I am impressed with both your commitment and your ability to make time. I'll be sure to stop by and admire your progress!
Gorgeous! I love the simplicity.
Don't count yourself out just yet, you may have a day where you're on a roll and the kids are napping and you can paint two in one day!
I started a Flickr group you can add your paintings to!

beautiful painting kristen. you are very talented. i wish i had some/any painting training/skill...it seems very relaxing.
I look forward to seeing your other paintings this month!
I'm very tempted....I may be joining this flickr group................
I giggled at your Almost Everyday....cause, I almost forgot to paint too. I like your leaves, and the idea of doing just quick 10 minute paintings.
Beautiful...I can't believe you did that in 10 minutes! It's always been a personal dream to be able to draw and paint!
