Week 36 ~ "Sea of Daisies"

My Garden of Daisies

1.5" X 1.5" Acrylic Painting in Glass Locket & Hung on an adjustable black leather necklace.


"Daisies a Plenty" by Saundra Lane Galloway


I decided to combine this week's challenge with my blog contest running for a couple more days this summer. I painted this acrylic on a 4x4" gesso 1/2" board for one of the give-away choices for my contest. To read more click over to my BLOG. And...as I've said in other posts this morning...can't remember if it would be Daisies or Daisy's...hmmm...thank goodness it doesn't change the painting!

Week 31 to 32 ~ Secret Garden


Lupins (12x19, soft pastel on black paper)



Thanks Dana Marie for another great challenge! Sorry this took so long.


Two Palms by Saundra Lane Galloway


Dana and I have already had a chuckle from this offering I have, and so we decided it would be good to post this. You may have noticed it doesn't look ANYTHING like the photograph inspiration this time around. No, you don't have to adjust your screen...it IS a painting of two palm trees. I tried to paint the flowers and greenery three times and somehow this was what I finally ended up with. I finally decided not to fight what obviously wanted to be palm trees! It isn't my normal style, but I have often said how healthy it is to do something completely experimental. I believe it clears the brain of all those dusty cobwebs and fills one up with fresh creativity! Sounds good doesn't it! :) So, this little 6"x9" canvas on panel is for your enjoyment!

Week 9 - 10 Inspiration ~ Reflections



Hi Dana -
Here is one that might fit the theme!

Manna From Heaven
16X20
Oil on Canvas
by Nancy Medina


I have decided, at this time, to change the "weekly challenge" to every other week, until entries pick up. Even though you can always go back and post on any of the weekly challenges, I'd love to see more "current" entries...myself included ;) ....and perhaps giving us 2 weeks will give us more time to post our creations. Also, please, remember, I'm not looking for exact replicas of the photograph, please, post whatever the photograph has inspired you to create. Also, you may recreate the piece via whatever media you choose to use. Let those creative juices flow!

Happy Creating!

~ Dana Marie







I have a cool painting that fits right in with this, even if the colors are different. Great subject, Dana!
